January 2, 2007 – Volunteer Job of the Week

Things are only impossible until they're not.
Jean-Luc Picard

HAPPY 2007!

We hope your holidays were filled with family friends and joy of the
season – and maybe a quiet bubble bath away from what can be a crazy
time of year.

While the “Holiday Helping Hands” section has been safely packed for
next year, we managed to find quite a few opportunities to kick off the
new year. However, it wasn't until we were putting everything together
that we noticed that there quite a few of the opportunities are
internships. So, please forward this to those who may need or want the
info – it's such a great way to get started and give back.

And, as always, happy volunteering! Let us know if you have any
resolutions for working more in a certain area – maybe we can help you
find an opportunity.

Take care,

Heather and RachelVJOTWnews@gmail.com

*** Weekly Fun Report

Welcome to 2007 .. let's get started!

*** One Paragraph Pitch:

After the devastating 2005 Gulf Coast hurricanes, hundreds of
organizations scrambled to help. At VolunteerMatch, we worked closely
with our disaster-services partners, creating communications strategies,
building web tools and launching a special Hurricane Rebuilding &
Recovery web page to channel hurricane-related volunteer interest.
Fast-forward sixteen months: Huge swaths of New Orleans remain in
shambles, and last month alone we had over 700 new hurricane-related
volunteer listings at VolunteerMatch as well as hundreds of thousands of
page views at our hurricane web page.
VolunteerMatch remains committed to the work of rebuilding the Gulf
Coast. This month, we teamed up with Habitat for Humanity's Operation
Home Delivery to help connect volunteers with the award-winning
nonprofit home builder. By next year, Habitat – already one of the most
vital providers of affordable housing – hopes to have built 1,000 new
homes in New Orleans. But tens of thousands more are needed.
