As registered Service Partners, Volunteer Onslow wants to bring you resources as they become available to help you sustain programs, grow and maintain your volunteer force and have organizational success.

If you are looking for training or re-training on how to utilize the website, check out these options:

  1. For the playlist of videos to walk you through each step of the process – you can find that here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVpyp-niJVY&list=PL0C5465BE48153681&feature=view_all
  2. This is a great link of a 25 minute video from the website administrators walking through the site. Depending on your website capabilities and computer understanding but a good way to be able to play multiple times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdrK827IH64.
  1. This link will take you to a live webinar at 1PM every Tuesday or 3PM every Thursday. Good opportunity for question and answers with the website administrator and my personal contact for the website, Andy. (https://www4.gotomeeting.com/join/583661486).
  2. Every 3rd Friday, I will hold a lunch time training from 12-1pm to go over, in person everything that the links above will do. Question and answer, our own pace and the opportunity to meet others.  The next scheduled training is April 19th from 12-1. You are always welcome to do a combination of a few!

 

Collaboration Wednesday: every 1st and 3rd Wednesday for Service Partners to send news, events, needs, ideas and questions to other service partners. Please send that information to Lauren by end of day the Tuesday prior.

 Please utilize this Volunteer Onslow Service Partner volunteer hours log, if necessary and return to Volunteer Onslow. Volunteer hour tracking is very important!
