For The World - Global Volunteer Week

May 13th - May 20th is For the World Global Volunteer Week! Volunteer in your local community and we will make a difference globally!

[fortheworldweek]

May 13th – May 20th is For The World - Global Volunteer Week!

The news might be overwhelmingly bad, but just because it can feel like the world is ending, doesn’t mean it has to. You can make a difference in one person’s life, and we can all do it together! Starting on May 13th, the day the finale airs, Good Omens fans from across the world will be volunteering in their local communities!

Join us!

The Plan:

 Volunteer your time between May 13th and May 20th.

 Report your hours to us by May 25th in this document and we’ll tally them all up and celebrate the differences we’ve made!

The Guidelines:

Volunteering can be anything from organizing a fundraiser to picking up litter!

Take photos only if it’s appropriate to do so, and ask everyone involved for permission before posting.

This week is not about financial donations, only your time.

Reported hours will be on the honor system. Check back here for details on how to report hours closer to the date.

Already volunteer regularly? We would love to count those hours!

If you want to participate but can’t during these dates, we would still love to hear about it! We will have a “general volunteer hours” count as well.

Some volunteer opportunities may have lengthy onboarding or training processes, or strict minimum hours requirements. Remember to check for this early!

Volunteering Ideas:

Food distribution through a food bank or community kitchen

Helping a neighbor or loved one with house or yard work

Watch your friend’s bookshop while he takes your car to Edinburgh

Visitations at elder care facilities

Watching a loved one’s kids while they have time for themself

Native language volunteer for new immigrants or refugees

Make hot chocolate for someone having a hard time remembering

Organize a forcing party to help your avoidant friends get important tasks done

Invasive species removal

Safe drug distribution programs

Offering your professional services to a non-profit (e.g. graphic design, web design, document editing)

Crisis hotlines

Trash pickup in public spaces

Link to some low physical demand suggestions

Please let us know if you have more suggestions for volunteering ideas. We would especially like to hear about ideas for people with physical or social limitations that might make more common opportunities difficult!

We would love to make this an annual event but we need your help to do it. Spread the word and use the hashtags #ForTheWorldWeek #ForTheWorldWeek2026

For The World Week 2026 - Report

We are so happy to announce that because of this event, a total of 88.5 hours were spent helping others. 69.5 of which occurred during the official week dates of May 13-May 20.

People volunteered in administrative, educational, fund raising events, environmental, and personal assistance opportunities.

In a time when things look bleak and people may be feeling helpless, we are reminding ourselves that help is something we can always offer one another.

Thank you to every single person that spent even one unreported minute helping someone else during this event. You made a difference for someone and that's what it's about.

In ONE week

we'll be putting all this nervous, excited energy to good use and volunteering in our communities.

Next Wednesday, when the finale drops, the report form will be added to the pinned post, and you can report the time you spent helping make our world a better place.

We can't rely on someone else to do it for us, we have to do the hard work and make the world better for ourselves and for the future.

See you there!

[fortheworldweek]

Two Weeks until For the World Week!

The end is just the beginning.

Help out a friend! Walk the neighbor's dog! Work at a food distribution! Anything you can do to enrich someone else's life, no matter how small, can make a difference!

Starting May 13th, we will post a link to a very simple google form that will include a field for the number of hours volunteered and optional fields to report the type of volunteering you did, and any additional hours you volunteered outside of May 13-May 20.

We will also do our best to include any hours reported via asks.

13 de maio – 20 de maio é Pelo O Mundo - Semana Mundial do Voluntariado!

As notícias podem ser extremamente negativas, e apesar de parecer que o mundo vai acabar, isso não precisa ser verdade. Você pode fazer a diferença na vida de uma pessoa, e nós podemos fazer isso juntes! A partir do dia 13 de maio, no lançamento do último episódio, fãs de Belas Maldições por todo o mundo vão se voluntariar em suas comunidades! 

Vem com a gente!

O plano:

Voluntarie seu tempo entre 13 de maio e 20 de maio.

Relate suas horas pra gente até o dia 25 de maio, e nós vamos fazer a contagem e celebrar a diferença que fizemos! 

Diretrizes:

Você pode se voluntariar como quiser – desde organizar uma vaquinha até coletar lixo!

Tire fotos apenas se for apropriado, e peça permissão de todo mundo antes de postar.

Essa semana diz respeito ao tempo oferecido, não a contribuições financeiras.

As horas serão contabilizadas pelo “sistema de honra” – confiamos na sua palavra, e não será necessário nenhum tipo de comprovação. Perto da data de encerramento, visite nossa página para mais detalhes de como relatar as horas.

Você já se voluntaria regularmente? Nós adoraríamos levar em conta essas horas!

Se você quer participar mas não pode durante essas datas, ainda queremos ouvir de você! Teremos também uma contagem de “Horas Voluntariadas Gerais”.

Alguns trabalhos voluntários necessitam de treinamentos, longos processos de inscrição, ou exigem requisitos mínimos de horas. Lembre-se de verificar isso com antecedência!

Idéias para seu voluntariado:

Distribuição de comida a partir de bancos de alimento ou cozinhas comunitárias

Ajudar um vizinho ou uma pessoa querida com o jardim ou trabalho doméstico

Cuidar da livraria do seu amigo enquanto ele leva seu carro para passear em Edimburgo

Visitas em asilos e outras instituições de cuidados para idosos

Cuidar das crianças de uma pessoa querida para que ela possa descansar 

Ajudar refugiados e imigrantes na sua língua nativa 

Fazer chocolate quente para alguém com problemas de memória 

Organizar uma “festa da obrigação”* para ajudar amigues que evitam tarefas importantes

Remoção de espécies invasoras 

[fortheworldweek]

I'm cochair with a LGBTQ org and here are some of the tasks we have listed for disabled volunteers.

But here's a sampling of things that can either be done from home or don't require you present at a specific time/location. These are largely tasks that a lot of orgs might not to think to ask for someone to do, so ask a local group you want to help if these are tasks they need! * write image descriptions for social media posts * View webpage through different browser/operating system. Look at all pages and detect any problems * translate webpage or subpages into a different language you are fluent in *Check website photos have alt text enabled, write labels if needed * Subtitle youtube video. make sure to include sounds as well as speech * post flyers for our events wherever you are travelling * Make a stencil to label our equipment with org name & weight limit for chairs. use stencil, or we can have someone else do this part * moderator on our discord * run online events through our discord * assemble items for upcoming event (we will drop off materail to you) Location assessment- Accessibility - visit location one or more times to check for accessibility issues. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VBPEUGv35_BsvHEvoUh6zEpMUREokYRqBuOE6xOFR5M/edit?usp=sharing This one is actually best if multiple people with different disabilities all submit it to the org, because a wheelchair user will pick up different things than someone with sensory processing issues. We've got questions aimed at different groups on the assessment sheet so we get full info on any challenges at a given location we might use.

This is a fantastic list of options, Thank you!

[fortheworldweek]

We love to see it!

The enthusiasm for the event has been heartwarming. It's so lovely to see that so many people are excited about helping!

Please send us asks with more suggestions for volunteering <3

We're especially still looking for suggestions for people with physical and social limitations!

There is still plenty of time for planning but the sooner we have ideas, the sooner people can get scheduled!
