Volunteer WV

Linking people to service

Volunteer WV is an effort coordinated by the Volunteer Action Center to connect people who want to volunteer with organizations that need volunteers.  This is a local branch of the   statewide Volunteerwv.org organization.

All interested volunteers are asked to fill out an application listing their skills, interests, and availability.  They are then sent a list of several possible organizations and are encouraged to contact the agencies directly.  Each agency has their own criteria for screening and training.

The volunteer information is then stored in a database so that if an agency calls requesting help, the appropriate match can be made.

The local branch of Volunteer WV also provides publicity, volunteer recognition, and promotion through local area media.
