Video Volunteers is a simple way for you to help raise awareness for causes you care about, and compete for recognition of your work on the YouTube homepage.
Each month, the channel will feature a different relevant issue on the Video Volunteers channel with a new guest curator, and you could have the opportunity to showcase your work (and your favorite org) to a huge audience.
VidOpp Note: This contest does not meet our standard for inclusion because it does not have a prize with monetary value. We have posted it only because it is for a good cause. Participating is akin to donating your work. Your feedback on this type of contest is welcome in the comments.
