Skills-based volunteering is becoming more in demand for nonprofits seeking to expand the impact of volunteers and do more with fewer resources.
Volunteer Alexandria, a nonprofit organization that matches volunteers with opportunities, has launched Skills Connect, a system that helps nonprofits post skills-based volunteer opportunities for local volunteers. The system also allows residents to express interest and provide information on what they can do.
Residents can click here to learn more about Skills Connect for volunteers. (Nonprofits can click here.)
Volunteer Alexandria offers opportunities for residents as young as age 6 to volunteer for local nonprofits. The organization also offers a variety of summer programs for teens, remote volunteer opportunities and much more. Learn more about Volunteer Alexandria at volunteeralexandria.org.
(Volunteer Alexandria itself is seeking board members to help guide the organization. Learn more here.)
