SubscribeVolunteerMatch.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!
