Abstract
The aim of the study is to identify the reality of virtual volunteering work for the
university students, in addition to the extent to which the students of Al-Quds
University realize the importance of virtual volunteering in achieving community
development. Also, it identifies the most important obstacles students face in virtual
volunteering in Al-Quds University and the ways for developing and enhancing
Electronic or virtual Volunteering.
The study also aimed to identify the differences in the means of the awareness of the
students of Al-Quds University of virtual volunteering due to the variables (gender,
faculty, volunteering time, and Internet access hours per week).
In order to achieve the objectives of the study, a random sample of 374 male and
female students of Al-Quds University registered for the academic year 2016-2017
was selected. The researcher used the questionnaire as a tool for study and analyzed

body and the students themselves in Al-Quds University in virtual volunteering came
moderate. The results show that Al-Quds University students are partially aware of
the importance of electronic volunteering and the need for it in the help of others, but
they do not do it often. The results shows that there are some obstacles affecting the
electronic or virtual volunteering such as, the absence of a University electronic page
interested in virtual volunteering, and not including virtual voluntary work to the
voluntary work department in the university. Also, and the results shows that the
most important ways to promote the virtual volunteering is that voluntary work
department should provide electronic page for the students in order to carry out
various activities to support students scientifically, culturally, morally, socially, and
be affiliated to the university official web page.

questionnaires according to the variables (gender, faculty, specialization, duration of
volunteering). No significant differences were found according to the number of
hours of access to the internet.

strengthening it and promoting the organization of a program which has a vision for
this kind of volunteering in the university campus, and can be included in the
university website to enable students to help others in one place. Also, promoting the
idea of volunteer work, through seminars and workshops carried out in the university
supported by the Department of Voluntary Work. Also, the university should include
the virtual voluntary work program in the university’s volunteer work and counting
the virtual voluntary work hours for students through the electronic page of the
Department of Volunteer Work to help all Students who are unable to volunteer in
the field or face to face such as, disabled, and female students who do not want to
