WEBINAR DETAILS
National data shows that 1 in 5 formal volunteer positions today are at least in part e-volunteering or virtual volunteering. Having trouble meeting the 5% requirement? E-volunteering removes or addresses many of the reasons people give when they decide not to volunteer. Another intriguing trend is micro-volunteering — short, task-based projects like transcription, data entry, or maybe even assistance with patient/family legacy videos. This informative session will explore both e-volunteering and micro-volunteering and will include resources for you to navigate both benefits and potential challenges you might encounter.
