[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I understand your frustration. My son has had a similar experience seeking volunteer work, and I sat at the computer with him last weekend because I assumed he wasn’t really searching or giving up too easily, and he had an experience like your daugther that for every promising lead, after several clicks to sign up there would be a message the org isn’t accepting volunteers at this time (I assume all due to covid). [/quote]

Right now I can think of 3 or 4 remote or online volunteer opportunities that organizations provide and will sign off on volunteer hours for.

You and OP's kid are not looking hard enough or not that interested.  [/quote]

Please name the opportunities instead of criticizing our kids.

Remember, it's not like they know the names of 50 nonprofits off the top of their heads to search on those sites.  My son looked on the Montgomery County volunteer match website - I was sitting right next to him - and most opportunities he clicked on brought him to a message that the org isn't accepting volunteers at this time. My son doesn't "need" the hours for grad, he just wants to get involved with something meaningful to him.[/quote]
