In addition to all of the resources you find with The Volunteer Center, there are many national organizations which are full of helpful advice and information. Here are just a few we work with:
VolunteerResource.org:
A comprehensive library of resources and effective practices on volunteering and volunteer management coordinated by the Points of Light and Hands on Network.
Energizeinc.com:
Coordinated by volunteer management guru Susan Ellis, this website has articles and resources on best practices for volunteer managers including a monthly tips e-newsletter. Also links to book store, conference listings, and weekly feature articles.
Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS):
has information on national programs such as:
The Resource Center of the Corporation for National and Community Service:
While this site focuses on national service programs such as RSVP, it has many resources including a database of 800 effective practices sorted by topic such as education, environment, public safety and volunteer management. Some services are only available to national service grantees, but there are many available to all.
Idealist.org:
Allows nonprofits to list volunteer, job, and event opportunities and shares stories on volunteering around the world. There is a fee for some services.
Craigslist.com:
A free place to list your volunteer opportunities. Downside: Postings are in date order and quickly become outdated.
Volunteermatch.org:
has both fee-for-service and free listings for volunteers. Downside: listings are national and Westchester based nonprofits are often lumped in the NY City agencies.
