Two new resources are available to the United Cerebral Palsy affiliate network and those who support UCP in our local communities. Answering the call of President Obama, two new Web sites now make it easier than ever to volunteer and to advertise volunteering opportunities.
Serve.gov makes it easy for all Americans not only to find ways to serve in their communities, but also to create and promote their own service projects. On the Serve.gov Web site, you can find toolkits, share your story as well as register your service project opportunity; whether it be painting, building or perhaps something to do with online technology, such as the video below demonstrates when recruiting Video Volunteers to help tell your story and why your cause is important.
In addition, Google recently launched a new Web site entitled All for Good, which helps match citizens with volunteer opportunities in their local communities. Inspired by the call of President Obama to engage more Americans in service, All for Good functions similar to Craigslist, but for community service. What makes this different is that "you don't just have to show up at your local soup kitchen or animal shelter to give back – volunteering in the 21st century can be done entirely online."
"America's new foundation will be built one community at a time. And that starts with you." says First Lady, Michelle Obama. Please visit Serve.gov and AllforGood.org today to learn more, register or find your next volunteer opportunity.
