Last week I posted about becoming a virtual volunteer (a volunteer whose work happens online), but what if you're a nonprofit that wants to start a virtual volunteer program?Here are a few resources to get you going:
- The Virtual Volunteering Guidebook: How to Apply the Principles of Real-World Volunteer Management to Online Service by Susan J. Ellis and Jayne Cravens.
- Susan Ellis of Energize, Inc.'s list of articles, e-books and websites about Using the Internet and Virtual Volunteering.
- Jayne Cravens' of Coyote Communications' articles about online and virtual volunteering.
- "Ask the Expert: Jayne Cravens — Online Volunteering" on the Corporation for National and Community Service's site.
- ServiceLeader.org's Virtual Volunteer Resources.
- Tom McPhee of Volunteer Power's book (written with his son, Jonathan) The New Breed: Understanding and Equipping the 21st Century Volunteer.
What are some of your favorite virtual volunteer program management tips and resources?

Great list, Britt. Also just wanted to add a couple of resources from TechSoup:
ReplyDeleteVolunteers and Technology forum hosted by Jayne Cravens and Erin Barhardt from Idealist.
Donate Your Brain blog for quick and easy ways to donate your tech knowledge.
These are great! Thanks, Megan!
ReplyDeleteGreat info, Britt, as usual!
ReplyDeleteVolunteermatch.org is a great organization that you likely are aware of, bringing together volunteers with organizations in need of help in such an efficient way. It is such an amazing and inspiring site. I blogged about them a while back: http://twsblog.wordpress.com/2008/06/12/amazing-find-for-volunteer-wannabees-and-organizations-in-need/
Anyway, on the search page, they actually have a check-off box for virtual volunteering.
Here's the direct link:
http://www.volunteermatch.org/search/
There were over 200 virtual volunteer opportunities when I just searched it!
While folks are there, they'll want to check out all the inspiring stories featured about giving of one's time and one's skills and the wonderful opportunity the experience turns out to be for the volunteer. You know Having Fun Doing Good! True enough!
Keep up the great work!

Thanks, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
