skill-based volunteering

Skill-based volunteering involves using your professional talents and expertise to assist nonprofits or community organizations. Unlike general volunteer work, which might involve manual tasks, skill-based volunteering leverages specific skills—such as marketing, accounting, technology, or legal advice—to solve organizational challenges. This type of volunteering allows individuals to make a meaningful impact by applying their knowledge in ways that may not be possible through standard volunteering. It benefits both the nonprofit, which gains specialized support, and the volunteer, who can contribute in a more targeted and fulfilling manner.
