    Before you start, please note that you **cannot** ask Online Volunteers to support you on-site and in full-, part-time or ad-hoc like arrangements. Furthermore, Online Volunteers **must never** be requested to make donations in-kind or financial contributions or to solicit donations from third parties or be asked to supervise/manage anyone. For more information, please read our[Online Volunteer assignment criteria](https://explore.unv.org/ov-doa-criteria) and ensure your DoA adheres to them.
