Perils and Promise of Cyber Volunteering powerpoint available NOW

Timothy Bishop, the Executive Director of the Ellensburg Downtown Association in Washington State and I developed a training program for the National Trust Main Street Center program called "Perils and Promise of Cyber Volunteerism." The description of the session read:

Cyber volunteerism is being hyped by many nonprofits as being the next big wave, but how can you integrate these off site volunteers into a healthy on site volunteer program for Main Street? Learn about the perils and promise of this new form of volunteerism, and how and why you should tap into this opportunity. Hear from two veterans about how to produce more volunteer work and target a new generation. Learn about some experiments being undertaken by Main Street organizations, best practices for cyber volunteers and the best tasks that can be completed via the Internet to support your overall work plan.

We would be delighted to send this fascinating presentation to you which includes additional bonus handout materials such as:

Articles about cyber volunteers
Sample job descriptions for cyber volunteers
Sample training assignment to complete before placement
List of best practices
Bibliography

The PowerPoint and handout materials are available now for no charge by contacting donna@heritageconsultinginc.com
