VII.1.c: Technology to Engage Volunteers

Deploy comprehensive, cutting‐edge technology involving Americans in service at no cost to the federal government.

Other Information:

To make it easy for Americans to answer the President’s call to service and find local volunteer opportunities, the Corporation collaborated with technology and nonprofit leaders to deploy the All for Good search engine on the Serve.gov website. All for Good is a free, open source web‐based platform with approximately 250,000 service opportunities, the largest collection of such content ever assembled. It was created by volunteering enthusiasts from places like Google, Craigslist Foundation, UCLA, YouTube, and FanFeedr. Through this collaboration, the Corporation was able to deploy a comprehensive, cutting‐edge technology solution that is involving Americans in service at no cost to the federal government. The Corporation also operates online recruitment systems for its AmeriCorps and Senior Corps program, allowing grantees to post volunteer opportunities and recruit volunteers (www.serve.gov or www.allforgood.org).
