Remote

UN Online Volunteering (UN Volunteers)

Backed by: United Nations Volunteers programme (UNV)

Create a profile and apply to remote assignments (translation, data analysis, mapping, psychosocial support) posted by UN agencies and NGOs. Remote work, no money involved.

WarningThere may be no assignment tagged for the Yaracuy earthquake today; look for ones tied to the Venezuela response or to the agencies operating there. Any site that charges to “register as a UN volunteer” is fraud.

What it does

UNV runs the UN’s official Online Volunteering service. For this earthquake it is a way for the diaspora to contribute skilled remote work to the agencies already operating in Venezuela (OCHA, UNICEF, UNHCR). When an assignment ends, the host organization — not UNV — issues a certificate of appreciation.

How to take part

  1. Go to the official page (unv.org/become-online-volunteer) and create your profile on the platform (you must be 18+).
  2. Filter assignments by “online” mode and by topic (emergency/crisis, languages, data).
  3. Apply to the ones that fit your profile; the host organization selects you.
