Volunteers

A volunteer can be a great solution for a short-term technical problem. A clearly defined volunteer project, a staff point-person as a liaison and a vision for how the volunteer's work fits into the agency's overall technology plan are key ingredients for success. Whether you find your volunteer online, through a volunteer matching program, or by recruiting in your neighborhood, the relationship can be of lasting benefit to your organization.
