Serve Virginia Volunteer Hub
The new Serve Virginia Volunteer Hub is a statewide, online hub connecting Virginians to volunteer and service opportunities across the Commonwealth.
What’s on the Hub?
In partnership with VDSS, Serve Virginia developed the hub as a tool to create a single point-of-entry for individuals looking to volunteer. The hub also provides volunteer management resources to communities without volunteer centers.
Note*
As we continue to build out the Serve Virginia Hub and expand our network of partners, there will be more volunteer opportunties listed in localities across the Commonwealth.
The Hub can…
- Track volunteer hours across multiple organizations through one secure location.
Search volunteer opportunities by date and location.
- Allow community agencies the ability to verify volunteer hours within the system.
- Connect users to a local volunteer center.
- Find volunteer opportunities that fit your specific needs.
- Set-up notifications and alerts.
- Help you learn about volunteer events, news and updates.
Volunteers can create a free account on the Serve Virginia Volunteer Hub to record hours committed to opportunities found on the Hub, as well as other independent volunteering.
Volunteer hours are able to be verified to ensure compliance or meet requirements. Volunteers can also download their “volunteer resume” to submit their volunteer hours to other organizations.
How Do I Get Started?
Use the map below to find your county.
- If your county is served by a local volunteer center, register with that volunteer center and post your volunteer opportunities on its website. Later this summer, volunteer opportunities posted through participating local volunteer centers will automatically be integrated into the statewide Serve Virginia Volunteer Hub.
- If your county is not currently served by a local volunteer center, you can register directly with the Serve Virginia Volunteer Hub and begin posting your volunteer opportunities today.
What is a Volunteer Center?
Volunteer Centers provide individuals seeking volunteer opportunities and community organizations recruiting volunteers with a place to connect.
In aggregate, the volunteer centers serve over 85,000 volunteers and 2,600 organizations. This represents a large percentage of the infrastructure to support volunteerism.
Nonprofit, government, and other not for profit organizations can list volunteer opportunities for individuals or teams to respond to.
These opportunities are filterable by issue area, volunteer experience/background, location, etc.
Serve Virginia is hosting several webinars to help users navigate the hub and review all the features volunteers can use to cultivate a life of service.
During the webinar, you’ll discover how the Serve Virginia Volunteer Hub can:
- Help volunteers track hours across multiple organizations in one secure, centralized place
- Make it simple to search and filter volunteer opportunities by date, location, or interests
- Allow agencies to efficiently verify volunteer hours for compliance or reporting needs
- Connect users to local volunteer centers or provide support in localities without one
- Deliver notifications, alerts, events, news, and updates to individual volunteers and organizational users
- Generate a downloadable “volunteer resume” summarizing verified service hours
