Oh, what a little press can do. Thanks to a featured article on Monster.com last week, we added over 50 new volunteers to our volunteer web design program. The increased volunteer interest is good news for us and great news for the organizations in need of a volunteer to help them build capacity with a new website!
The article, titled "Online Volunteering: A Win-Win for Techies, Nonprofits", outlines some of the reasons why people decide to volunteer their web design skills:
Techies often volunteer to further their careers and to contribute to a worthy cause. Virtual volunteering makes it possible to do both without the hassle of trying to fit an onsite volunteer position into an already-hectic schedule. Plus, volunteering online gives you access to:
*A broader set of opportunities, making it more likely you'll find a position that requires your skills and matches your goals
*A wider choice of groups, letting you find one that matches your interests
If you aren’t convinced that volunteering your web design skills virtually is worthwhile, read the Monster article! We hope you’ll be enticed to join the growing family of Grassroots.org volunteers.
