Nonprofits Find Success in Online Volunteer Recruitment

Austin, TX ? For nonprofit agencies such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southeast Texas and The River City Youth Foundation volunteers are the heart of their organizations. Recruiting and managing volunteers using past methods was not reaching the target audience of today. Through the use of the personalized web services of Your Mission, both organizations have been able to find success in their online volunteer recruitment efforts.

?Thanks to Your Mission's interactive, user-friendly website, Big Brothers Big Sisters has increased the number of volunteers and children served. Within four months, our new website has generated over 300 new volunteer inquiries, information requests, donations and event registrations,? according to Deborah Ortiz, President/CEO.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southeast Texas, located in Houston, TX provides dependable adult friendship to children in need. Founded in September 1950, it is in the top 3 largest of the 510 BBBS agencies in the U.S. In 2002 the agency has grown to serving 44 counties.

For The River City Youth Foundation, located in Austin, TX, the ability to completely showcase their volunteer needs among the myriad of other volunteer choices available in the community and the lack of multiple staff members to manage the volunteer recruitment process made their website an invaluable tool.

?It?s great to be able to increase the number of prospective volunteers and financial supporters, especially during a slowed economy,? says Executive Director Mona Gonzalez. ? Our internal capacity for providing up-to-the-minute volunteer and giving opportunities has grown thanks to Your Mission.?

Since 1983, River City Youth Foundation has been able to give low-income, high-risk youth the opportunities and infrastructure to break the mindset of poverty, illiteracy and crime in their communities.

Andrew Urban, President of Your Mission states ?With every web presence that we enable for our nonprofit partners we are attempting to create a site that encourages relationships with their constituents, both new and old alike. Nothing is better for us than to know that we, in a small way, have been able to help make a difference in fulfilling the mission of our nonprofit partners.?
