The Information About & For Volunteers You Should Have on Your Web Site

 
If your organization or department involves volunteers, or wants to involve volunteers, there are certain things your organization or department must have on its web site, in my opinion, and there are no excuses for not having it. No government agency requires you to have this information. No agency requires your nonprofit, NGO, charity or community program to involve volunteers. But if your organization DOES involve volunteers, this information absolutely needs to be there - I consider it required information. To not have this information says that your organization or department takes volunteers for granted, does not value volunteers beyond money saved in salaries, or is not really ready to involve volunteers.

Here is what absolutely should be on your web site regarding volunteers, to make your web site as volunteer-friendly as it can be and to show how much your organization values volunteers. And, quite frankly, if you don't have this on your web site because you "don't have time", then you do not have time to involve volunteers, period:

 
Those are just the basics, the minimum an organization that involves volunteers, or wants to, should have on its web site! An organization should also consider having on its web site: Also see: There are even more suggestions about what needs to be on your web site for potential and current volunteers, as well as ABOUT current volunteers, in The Last Virtual Volunteering Guidebook.
