VolunteerConnector Adds COVID-19 Tag
VolunteerConnector has added a COVID-19 tag to their volunteer opportunities for organizations in urgent need to quickly find volunteers. Organizations, such as food banks or seniors services, are advised to use this tag when posting volunteer opportunities to the site. VolunteerConnector is also putting a focus on virtual volunteering and encouraging all organizations to post any opportunities for remote volunteer connection. You can post and view current volunteer opportunities here
The following is an excerpt from the Insightrix website: “According to those who were involved in volunteering in Saskatchewan, for the most part, being a volunteer was something they benefited from.”. You can check out the information on their website by clicking here.
Let’s get Saskatchewan’s VolunteerConnector off the ground! SaskNonprofit has partnered with the Community Initiatives Fund and they are excited to offer VolunteerConnector – a new-to-Saskatchewan free online volunteer recruitment platform.
