Global online directory of volunteer opportunities launched
Macdonald Youth Services ,
Canadian charitable agency Macdonald Youth Services (MYS) has launched "The Global Directory of Web Sites that List Online Volunteer Opportunities".
This unique global directory, which is organized by country, will allow any non-profit organization to easily find websites to list their internet-based volunteer opportunities.
All listings in the directory provide the website's name and URL, who is eligible to list online volunteer opportunities, the geographic area the website serves and if any costs are involved to list.
"The global directory has been designed to remain current and comprehensive as new listings or modifications to current listings can be conveniently submitted via a linked form," says MYS's pioneering online volunteer program developer, Randy Tyler, who (along with an international team of online volunteers) created the directory as part of the multimedia "how to" publication about online volunteering he is currently developing.
"And the directory's RSS feed, which has an e-mail-based subscription option, will enable any user to easily stay abreast of any changes to the directory," says Tyler.
The directory uses an easy to install and configure application called "Listings Manager", which was programmed and donated by Interactive Tools of Vancouver, Canada.
