Wondering Where to Volunteer?
Posted on May 14th, 2008 in Social |
With 1.5 million registered users, VolunteerMatch strives to connect volunteers with non-profit organizations. Currently, the network boasts over 52,000 opportunities for prospective volunteers and has provided participating organizations with over 3 million referrals.
The linking process is reliant on a number of user generated data sets including location, skills, interests, availability, etc. Trust is the primary hurdle in selecting candidates virtually and VolunteerMatch does not appear to have a built in ranking system. However, users are reminded to adhere to the following principles: Be Professional, Honor your volunteer commitments, and Extend gratitude to any organization for training and professional development gained during volunteering.
