VolunteerMatch.com is not a social media tool, but it’s a great tool and it’s a solid starting point. VolunteerMatch.com is a free tool that enables non-profits to seek out and recruit quality volunteers. It’s free for most features and is very easy to use. A free account gives you a myriad of tools including…
- An organizational profile
- Volunteer position posting and tracking
- Notification emails
- Online support
For a nominal fee, your organization can become a “Community Leader”. This enhancement adds…
- Your positions are posted in bold
- Your positions are listed higher than non-leaders
- Live feed that allows you to dynamically post positions from VolunteerMatch.com to your website – all you have to do is add a few lines of code
- Listing customization (photos, documents, custom questionnaire, etc.)
At GoodDogz.org, we tend to post our listings in our own zip code, but you have the option to purchase additonal zip codes. This allows you to expand your recruitment area.
We now handle all of our volunteer management through VolunteerMatch.com and have so far been pleased with the results. So, if you have volunteers or need a few more, check out VolunteerMatch.com!

I am a volunteer with EF Foundation for Foreign Study. I am searching for volunteers in the following cities in Arizona as well as through out the nation to be coordinators for this organization. Yuma, Casa Grande, Wickenburg, Arizona
A coordinator is responsible for contacting high schools to obtain school slots and then searching for host families and placing exchange students for the school year or in some cases for a semester.
There are perks available for this person to obtain travel and merchandise rewards.
I have been doing this for 5 years and have met some wonderful people and have lifelong friendships with many students from around the world.
I hope to hear from special people who would enjoy being part of the great organization.
I have a friend in Arizona. She is dying to do some volunteering, she is good at starting usinesses. very quiet but very slick. she can provide all kinds of hardware and software. very good at providing high level coding and programming.
excellent orator and debator.
