Let's face it: finding good volunteers is tough. A good volunteer can be a priceless addition to the team, but the process of matching the expertise and timing needs of the project to the skills and availabilities of potential volunteers can take time and resources away from your organization. This month's Net2 Think Tank is exploring ways that organizations can use the internet to make finding volunteers more efficient and effective. Share your tools, tactics, and best practices with the NetSquared Community!

Topic:

How is your organization using web or mobile technology to find well-matched volunteers? What are your best practices for finding passionate volunteers and promoting your volunteer opportunities online? In your experience, what information and resources are volunteers looking for and which online spaces are they using to find you? There are so many tools, platforms, and techniques available - what's worked for you?
