When a volunteer clicks, “I want to help!”, that’s just the beginning. The initial click is a good intention. It’s an opportunity for nonprofits to reach out and build a relationship with a new prospective volunteer. It’s a mutual hope to take action and make the world a better place.
VolunteerMatch just celebrated its 11 millionth connection between a volunteer and nonprofit.
Meet Susan.
Here's her story, in her own words:
After I decided on an early retirement, I quickly realized I had plenty more to do (and give) — time, energy, and a desire to help others. I searched for volunteer opportunities online and found VolunteerMatch. After completing my profile, I was matched with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Jackson County.
In case you aren’t familiar, CASA is a 501(c)3 nonprofit whose mission is to support and promote court-appointed advocates for abused or neglected children. Their goal is to provide children with a safe and healthy environment in permanent homes.
My personal interests include a strong desire to help those who cannot help (or speak for) themselves — like children and animals. It’s no wonder VolunteerMatch paired me with CASA.
