involving online volunteers

    Probono.net
    http://www.Probono.net
    This nonprofit organization in New York City is a virtual community of public interest lawyers. It includes an index of links to online resources for volunteer lawyers who are seeking pro bono opportunities, and contains online support and resources for lawyers working on probono cases, including news, a calendar of trainings and events, online listings of new cases for volunteers, a message board that allows participating lawyers to communicate with other members of the practice area and an online library of training manuals, briefs and practice materials. Most of this material is password-protected.

     
    Vermont Volunteer Legal Assistants Association
    http://www.vvlaa.org
    This nonprofit organization provides volunteer legal assistants to work with attorneys who volunteer their services to Vermonters in need of pro bono assistance. VVLAA is also using the Internet to help lawyers providing pro bono services and those assisting them to collaborate with each other, and to help Vermonters find online self-help information regarding the courts and legal system.

If you are interested in setting up or expanding a telementoring/teletutoring program, we link to such resources that can help you here on our web site. We also have information about online safety in volunteering programs, including a special section for programs involving youth.

Does your organization already involve volunteers via the Internet? Then We Want to Hear From You!

If your organization involves volunteers "offline" to promote your agency's mission (tutoring clients, staffing a crisis line, support groups, etc.), and you want to explore involvement of online volunteers in a similar capacity, OR, if you already DO involve online volunteers and want to expand these activities, the Virtual Volunteering Project would love to help you. Read more about how we might collaborate.
