It it just me, or this really confusing?

Consider the opportunities on Help From Home as DIY volunteering. You're volunteering small amounts of your own time when you want to, under your own initiative - all from the comfort of your own home.

I'm volunteering with V-Advance (www.v-advance.com). Virtual volunteering from home, it's great. I do design work. Plus, get a great reference for it.
