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!

Jeremy’s Answer

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
