OLYMPIA – United Way of Thurston County launched a new volunteerism resource on January 1st.
The community has been without a central hub where residents can seek out volunteer opportunities. Volunteer Connection is an online service designed to enable dedicated volunteers and service organizations to find each other as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Volunteer Connection allows public and non-profit organizations to easily communicate their missions, services, and in-kind and volunteer needs, and enables volunteers to search for opportunities by agency, focus area, and zip-code. The site also includes support for large-scale group projects and multi-day events.
On January 1st, Volunteer Connection went live on the United Way website, www.unitedway-thurston.org. Users simply click on the VOLUNTEER button on the homepage.
United Way’s goal with this service is to enable community members looking to give their time and efforts to quickly and easily find opportunities that align with their passions and interests
