About Volunteer.gov

Volunteer.gov is the most comprehensive clearinghouse of volunteer opportunities ever created. Americans can enter geographic information about where they want to get involved, such as state or zip code, and areas of interest ranging from education to the environment, to access volunteer opportunities offered by a range of partner organizations across the country or around the world. Formerly the website for the USA Freedom Corps office at the White House (under President Bush), Volunteer.gov is managed by the Corporation for National and Community Service on behalf of the White House.

Posting your Volunteer Opportunity with Volunteer.gov

Having your volunteer opportunities posted with Volunteer.gov has several benefits:

• Recruiting volunteers online will extend and complement your current outreach efforts;
      

• Millions of individuals interested in responding to the President's call to service can find your opportunities by simply specifying area of interest, zip code or state; and
      

• Online tracking of matches of individuals with volunteer opportunities can help you with managing and even training volunteers.

In order to have your opportunities listed on Volunteer.gov, you will need to post them with at one of the Volunteer Network partner organizations listed on the homepage of Volunteer.gov.
