Individuals and Groups Seeking Volunteer Opportunities Encouraged to Visit New Volunteer West Virginia Website

It is now easier than ever to find and distribute information about volunteer opportunities available throughout West Virginia on the recently launched redesigned Volunteer West Virginia website at: http://volunteer.wv.gov.

The new website supports Volunteer West Virginia’s goal of making it easy to find information and stay informed. The website enables visitors to:

• Submit volunteer opportunities
• Search for volunteer opportunities
• Sign up for first to know notifications
• Connect and follow the agency through social media
• View the latest news & announcements

Additionally, the new website was built using responsive design, adjusting to any size screen whether the user is accessing the site from a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer.

“Voluntary service is a powerful tool for community change, and we believe in the power of people to make their communities better,” said Heather Foster, Director. “We could not be more pleased with our awesome new website! It makes it so easy for individuals and groups to post and find information about volunteer opportunities, and we encourage all citizens to visit our new site and find a volunteer opportunity today.”

Volunteer West Virginia is the state's Commission for National and Community Service and challenges West Virginians to strengthen their communities through service and volunteerism. Through programs and services, they identify and mobilize resources, promote an ethic of service, and empower communities to solve problems and improve the quality of life for individuals and families across the state.
