Organizers meeting, October 7, noon, United Way of the Greater Triangle
Shelly Bowers, Joe Burgess, Marjorie Fowler, Judy Hallman
We talked about tracking volunteer projects.
United Way has a volunteer matching service, Volunteer Solutions, that provides keyword searching, logging of volunteer time, and reporting capabilities. NCTech4Good could use this service. Volunteers register: If our volunteers create a common profile, NCTech4Good volunteer, then we can track volunteer activity. We can set up accounts for agencies, if they don't already have them.
Go to http://www.unitedwaytriangle.org/ and click Volunteer, click Volunteer Solutions, click Register, or go directly to http://volunteer.united-e-way.org/triangle/volunteer/register/ Create a profile named NCTech4Good volunteer. Volunteers can have multiple profiles.
"Volunteer Solutions is United Way of the Greater Triangle's interactive Web site where potential volunteers can search for volunteer opportunities in the Greater Triangle area by listing a keyword or a community. Volunteers can complete a personal profile and be notified when matching opportunities are available."
Agencies register at http://volunteer.united-e-way.org/triangle/agency/signup.aspx
Some projects will have a team. Each team will have a leader. NCTech4Good's supporters can be called upon for resources.
For the Oct 21 meeting, Shelly will show Volunteer Solutions. We'll start with three projects:
(1) A team to further define this NCTech4Good project.
(2) An alternative school for middle-thru-high school students who’ve been expelled, fell through the cracks, etc., has a computer lab that is unusable because the computers run too slow. Needs a team. Leader to determine what needs to be done and coordinate.
(3) Triangle Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service
