Online Volunteering Awards 2002 -
2006
Breakdown by country of nationality or residency
Each year from 2002 through 2006, the staff at the United Nations
Volunteers programme that managed the Online Volunteering service named
online volunteers of the year - people that had provided exceptional
service to an agency, or more than one agency, they helped via the OV
service. Using archives from archive.org, I did an analysis of the
recipients of the award in 2002 through 2006 by country of nationality
or residency.
Please note that I do NOT have contact information for these volunteers.
Also, the volunteers themselves identified the name of their country of
origin or their nationality.

- Tech Volunteer
Groups / ICT4D Volunteers
A listing of organizations and groups that promoted and placed tech
volunteers - both defunct initiatives and current ones.
- United Nations ICT4D
Initiatives
Various United Nations offices have launched
initiatives to promote the use of computers, feature phones, smart
phones and various networked devices in development and humanitarian
activities, to promote digital literacy and equitable access to the
"information society," and to bridge the digital divide. This web
page is my effort to track UN Tech4Good / ICT4D programs, from the
oldest through 2016. My goal is to primarily to help researchers, as
well as to remind current UN initiatives that much work regarding
ICT4D has been done by various UN employees, consultants and
volunteers for more than 15 years (and perhaps longer?).

- Short-term Assignments
for Tech Volunteers
There are a variety of ways for mission-based organizations to involve
volunteers to help with short-term projects relating to
computers and the Internet, and short-term assignments are what are
sought after most by potential "tech" volunteers. But there is a
disconnect: most organizations have trouble identifying such
short-term projects. This is a list of short-term projects for "tech"
volunteers -- assignments that might takes days, weeks or just a
couple of months to complete.
- One(-ish) Day "Tech"
Activities for Volunteers
Volunteers are getting together for intense, one-day events, or events
of just a few days, to build web pages, to write code, to edit
Wikipedia pages, and more. These are gatherings of onsite volunteers,
where everyone is in one location, together, to do an online-related
project in one day, or a few days. It's a form of episodic
volunteering, because volunteers don't have to make an ongoing
commitment - they can come to the event, contribute their services,
and then leave and never volunteer again. Because computers are
involved, these events are sometimes called hackathons, even if coding
isn't involved. This page provides advice on how to put together a
one-day event, or just-a-few-days-of activity, for a group of tech
volunteers onsite, working together, for a nonprofit, non-governmental
organization (NGO), community-focused government program, school or
other mission-based organization - or association of such.
- Volunteering Abroad
(especially for Westerners)
An in-depth look at the different kinds of volunteering abroad, with
extensive information on what a person would need to do and study to
become a viable candidate for long-term volunteering gigs where the
volunteer does NOT have to pay his or her own travel and
accommodations, such as the PeaceCorps or UNV.
- Incorporating virtual
volunteering into a corporate employee volunteer program (a
resource for businesses / for-profit companies)
Virtual volunteering - volunteers providing service via a computer,
smart phone, tablet or other networked advice - presents a great
opportunity for companies to expand their employee philanthropic
offerings. Through virtual volunteering, some employees will choose to
help organizations online that they are already helping onsite. Other
employees who are unable to volunteer onsite at a nonprofit or school
will choose to volunteer online because of the convenience.
- Women's Access to Public
Internet Access, a resource I developed through research
& experience to support the development of women-only Internet
centers/technology centers/etc., or women-only hours at such public
Internet access points, in developing and transitional countries.
- Lessons from
onlinevolunteering.org
Some key learnings from directing the UN's Online Volunteering
service from February 2001 to February 2005, including support
materials for those using the service to host online volunteers.
- Early
History of Nonprofits & the Internet
The Internet has been about people and organizations networking with
each other, sharing ideas and comments, and collaborating online. It
has always been interactive and dynamic. And there were many
nonprofit organizations who "got" it early -- earlier than many
for-profit companies. So I've attempted to set the record straight:
I've prepared a web page that talks about the
early history of nonprofits and the Internet. It focuses on 1995
and previous years. It talks a little about what nonprofits were using
the cyberspace for as well at that time and lists the names of key
people and organizations who helped get nonprofit organizations using
the Internet in substantial numbers in 1995 and before. Edits and
additions are welcomed.
