Need Volunteers?

[Guest cindymaybe]

I found thisgreat site to help find volunteers! :-D

You just go in and sign your company up, tell them what you are looking for and they do the rest. They will contact you when someone is interested.

You can also look up JASON on the net and it will lead you to where you need to go.

I hope you find it as useful as I have.

Try contacting a local church. Ask them to put an ad in their Sunday bulletin. We got an overwhelming response plus donations galore!

Hope this helps! :-)

I got on the site but didn't see anywhere to sign up to get the volunteers. Only how to sign up as an organization to volunteer. ??

Hi, Everybody :-)

 

Hey! If you need volunteers try using people who are on the food stamp program (i.e. contact the Department of Public Welfare in your area). Also try IMPACT. They pay people to work with you just for the experience. And, you might contact local colleges and enlist activity therapy students The students must complete so many hours of practical training. You may actually give out grades to their professor!

 

Hope this helps,

Hi,

Below are some great websites for Volunteer info.

 

Adopt-a-Nursing Home

Volunteer Match is an online volunteer recruitment tool. A potential volunteer can view available opportunities. This tool assists facilities in recruiting volunteers who use the Web to find placement meeting their needs and interests.

Volunteer Clip Art this site has clip art and several award certificates. These are free and they do not mind you using them.

Download clip art directions part of the link Volunteer clip art.

Inspirational Quotes

The material is useful for speeches, volunteer recognition, and newsletters, recruitment materials, etc

Resources Lots and lots of resources.

Volunteer Ethics Professional Ethics and training material.

Holiday Project Volunteers is a national non-profit organization of volunteers who visit with people spending Christmas, Chanukah and other holidays throughout the year confined in nursing homes, hospitals and other institutions.

 

Also don't forget about your local Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire, High School Classes, Garden Clubs, Eastern Star Ladies, Quilting Groups, Any Dancing Clubs, Dog clubs, Offer you facility to groups that need a place to meet or practice like Drama clubs, Book clubs, etc. Call your local dance studios that teach children and offer your place and res. as audience for the group to practice for a recital.

Also contact your local juvenile judge, court. Usually these kids are given community work as one of their criterias. You have the option of saying no to any of the kids that you are not confromtable having in the facility. Also share these kids with other depts. I have found that most of these kids come back on their own to volunteer.

Well this should you busy for a while. ;-) P
