 What services does Volunteer Connection provide?

Online Volunteer Matching Database:  Our online database allows nonprofit agencies to register online and post their volunteer opportunities so that they can efficiently find the right volunteers for their organization.  Listings will display areas of interest, skills, schedules and point of contacts.

GoodsMatch:   An on-line bulletin board service which allows community members to search requests for donations posted by local organizations or to publicly post items to donate.  Items can include clothing, office products, vehicles, personal care items and more.

BoardsMatch:   Recruit volunteers that share a passion for your organization's mission to serve as board members.

Disaster Skills Bank:  Post training opportunities available before a disaster strikes and disaster projects available for volunteers after a disaster.
