Welcome to the Volunteering and Activism user guide. This board is part of our Choose Action (www.thesite.org/chooseaction) section on TheSite.org. So what's it all about? Well, ultimately it's about changing the world for the better, but what you can discuss here is by no means set in stone.
You could talk about:
Ways that you are involved in projects and campaigns
Things you do to make a difference
Ways you would like to get involved
Getting others involved - you are welcome to make "calls to action" in this forum.*
Virtual volunteering
This won't be a place to debate issues, but that doesn't mean you can't disagree with something - as long as you are respectful.
*We have added a new discussion board rule relating to this forum:
If you intend to post a message in the Choose Action forum to promote a relevant project or activity you are involved in, make sure it's not-for-profit and doesn't contravene any of our other rules.
The content related to the volunteering and activism section outside the boards includes:
Virtual volunteering opportunities, online tools, and ideas to change the world, in a big way or in many small ways.
www.thesite.org/chooseaction
Resources including how-to-guides; support and advice for getting involved; ways to connect with other groups and campaigns and be heard by the general public, politicians and the media;
www.thesite.org/chooseaction/resources
Cyber action opportunities on a range of UK and international issues
www.thesite.org/chooseaction/actioncentre
A database of virtual volunteering opportunities, for anyone, anytime, anywhere.
