REMEMBER: When donating to a charitable organization, refrain from providing or verifying personal information via e-mail, text message, or social media. Do not post, direct message, email, or provide over the phone any sensitive information to any organization or individual unless you have initiated the interaction via the contact information provided on the organization’s website. Be wary of individuals representing themselves as members of any charitable organization asking for donations via social networking sites or personal email addresses. Malicious individuals can mislead victims using copycat names that are similar to but not exactly the same as individuals and charitable organizations. If you are unsure as to whether or not a communication is legitimate, contact the organization directly.
Volunteer Opportunities
Offering a variety of volunteer opportunities is one way to ensure that employees or community members find at least one thing in which they’d feel comfortable participating. Has your organization thought about incorporating virtual activities for your remote staff or supporters?
When you think about volunteers, the typical image of a team or community group planting a garden, revitalizing a local park, or painting a lively mural at a school comes to mind. Yet all around the globe, at any given time, thousands (if not millions) of engaged citizens volunteer virtually — using their computers, the Internet, even their smartphones.
Virtual volunteers can complete short-term or long-term tasks, in whole or in part, typically off-site from the organization or person being assisted. If you’ve got access to a computer, thousands of different volunteer projects and roles are available to you — from your home, the library, a coffee shop, anywhere with an Internet connection.
Below is our volunteer list categorized by activity or impact area.
Volunteers Opportunities:
Veteran Ambassadors: The liaisons assigned to veterans from their arrival to their departure
Security: The guardians of the event, liaisons between our organization and law enforcement.
Logisticians: The backbone of the event, the setup, teardown, and gap fillers.
Communications: The nervous system, the lifeline that feed information to the Director of Operations.
Mobility: The circulatory system, moving veterans and key personnel from point to point.
Staging: The muscles of the entire event, staging each of the veteran entries is critical to its success.
