For Recruiting Volunteers

  • The Points of Light Foundation has links to volunteer centers throughout the country, most of which maintain local databases of volunteer opportunities. Since it has a local focus, it is a good place to post a request for local senior volunteers.

  • The USA Freedom Corps Volunteer Network is a government sponsored centralized volunteer site.

  • Network for Good is a partnership of national non-profit organizations and some large Internet companies.

  • The Senior Corps program offers JASON, a senior service registry that enables organizations to list independent volunteer opportunities or be a part of Senior Corp’s RSVP program, a national program that places older adults in volunteer assignments in localities throughout the country.

  • SERVEnet, a project of Youth Service America, posts volunteer opportunities for people of all ages.
