Make Videos for Nonprofits Via YouTube Video Volunteer

YouTube is appealing to your inner filmmaker in an effort to get the word out about certain charitable organizations. AppScout reports.

The Google-owned video site on Monday launched YouTube Video Volunteer, a "service 2.0" program that will partner YouTube users with nonprofit organizations that need help producing promotional videos.

Video Volunteers is YouTube's version of a new platform that Google has launched called All for Good, which helps match citizens with volunteer opportunities in their local communities.

Built in partnership with the White House, All for Good is sort of like a Craigslist for community service. But you don't just have to show up at your local soup kitchen or animal shelter to give back -- volunteering in the 21st century can be done entirely online.
