Volunteer Match Partners with Idealist

VolunteerMatch has partnered with Idealist, an organization that specializes in helping people connect to jobs and internships with nonprofit organizations, to promote volunteering in more communities across the U.S. This partnership allows for Idealist to pull volunteer opportunities from VolunteerMatch and automatically post them onto their platform. So not only will your opportunities be posted on VolunteerMatch.org, they will also live on Idealist.org as well. You don't have to do anything additional! Having your volunteer opportunities on an additional platform will allow your chapter to reach more people and increase awareness. If someone is interested in applying on Idealist, they will be routed back to VolunteerMatch to complete the process. Here is an example of how a VolunteerMatch recruiting ad appears on Idealist.org:
