Volunteers can find groups gathering like-minded people in the "Volunteer Service Organization" column. With a mutual passion for volunteer work, they often form a big family.
On the Shanghai Volunteer website, there are many new projects released every day. Volunteers can choose the projects they are interested in and are suitable for them in the "Volunteer Service Projects" column to sign up.
For example, older volunteers may find it difficult to run long distances to participate in certain services. You can choose projects in your district or sub-district to see if there is a more suitable project. Each project will have a specific contact person and contact information. If there are any questions about the project, you can contact this person.
Volunteers who pass real-name authentication will automatically receive voluntary service accident insurance of 200,000 yuan ($28,200).
Volunteers who suffer accidental injuries due to voluntary service activities while participating in such activities (including the journey to and from activities) can submit insurance claims through the volunteer activity organizer.
