Hey there! Online/remote volunteering is a great way to contribute to the greater good, as well as add to your resume/work experience. Websites are listed below alphabetically after Volunteer Match, which is a kind of clearinghouse. Wishing you the best in your endeavors, Dr. B
P.S. I would also add FutureLearn as another online coursetaking platform...they are offering free courses and certificates of completion through Australian universities if you sign up by the end of July!
- Volunteer Match at https://www.volunteermatch.org/search/virtual (includes such activities as Cards For Smiles)

- Catch A Fire (assist non-profits) at http://catchafire.org
- DoSomething lists several opportunities at https://www.dosomething.org/us/articles/9-places-to-volunteer-online-and-make-a-real-impact

A couple ideas that come to mind:
- Take an online course (coursera, udemy, khan academy, udacity...)
- Do some online volunteering to build up your application. A quick search for "online volunteering" will give you lots of options. Here's one..https://www.dosomething.org/us
