5 Reasons To Recruit Online Volunteers

5 Reasons

• To Recruit Online Volunteers

2
1. Volunteering Anytime Anywhere

• Virtual volunteering can remove some time and
  physical barriers for both current and new
  volunteers. While the time required for
  volunteering online is real, not virtual,
  volunteers can provide a service, ask questions,
  or provide feedback at whatever time is
  convenient for them, outside of a few required
  live meetings with staff or other volunteers.

2. Increase Your Capabilities

• Some or most of your organizations mission may
  be best served by online volunteers, especially
  if your organizations membership is dispersed
  across a region or a country, or even around the
  world.

3. Save the Environment

• Online volunteers can be environmentally
  friendly. Online volunteers create no car
  exhaust, do not require a parking space, and do
  not need the organization to provide them with a
  desk or chair. And people are not buying new,
  additional technology just to volunteer online
  they are using technology for a variety of other
  tasks.

4. Reach a Younger Generation

• The Internet offers a proven tool for recruiting
  younger volunteers, a difficulty many
  organizations face. We have noted earlier that
  online volunteers may represent a variety of
  populations.

5. Expand Your Reach

• An organization that embraces virtual
  volunteering gives volunteers new ways of
  supporting causes they feel passionate about.
  This can lead both to expanding the involvement
  of onsite volunteers and to involving new
  volunteers altogether.
