What is WomenOnCall.org?
WomenOnCall.org is a Web-based connection site enabling Chicago-area
non-profits to find highly professional and skilled volunteers
seeking to make a real difference for a non-profit organization.
The search begins within service categories based on the needs
of both the non-profits, and the skills of volunteers who
have registered on the site. The connection happens on the
site, on a one-on-one basis.
How is WomenOnCall.org different from the other sites
that aim to connect volunteers and non-profits?
WomenOnCall.org is a connection site for highly skilled and
professional women to volunteer their valuable time to maximize
efficiency for a non-profit. WomenOnCall.org sets a minimum
requirement for its volunteers of one hour per week. A meaningful
connection between the non-profit and volunteers takes place
directly on the site through personal email accounts.
How do non-profits get started with using WomenOnCall.org?
Non-profits are able to view volunteers and initiate the
connection, based on relevant information provided by volunteers,
who have registered in specific service categories that correlate
with their experience. The non-profit is able to send an alert
to a particular volunteer expressing its desire to use her
expertise. These alerts are sent directly to the email address
provided by the volunteer.
Additionally, non-profits are also able to post volunteer
opportunities at their organization within the listed service
categories, enabling volunteers to view and directly respond
to a non-profit.
All qualified non-profit organizations are welcome to register
at WomenOnCall.org.
How do volunteers get started with using WomenOnCall.org?
Volunteers who register with WomenOncall.org are required
to describe their experiential background in detail or upload
their resume. A non-profit will send an alert to the volunteer,
requesting her skills, based on the service categories she
has selected. The service categories selected are a vital
part of creating a meaningful connection.
A volunteer may also contact the non-profit directly through
the volunteer opportunities posted by non-profits within the
service categories the volunteer has registered in. The connection
is created through the site, with all communication being
delivered directly to a member's email address.
What if I don't see the service category I need?
WomenonCall.org is eager for all volunteers and non-profits
to benefit from this Web site and will happily add most requests
for new service categories. Please email us at info@womenoncall.org
to request an additional service category.
What is the "Events Calendar?"
The events calendar is a place for the non-profit members
to post special events or fundraisers they are organizing.
The events calendar can be viewed by all visitors to the site,
ensuring maximum visibility for these events - which are periodically
highlighted and rotated on the home page under "Upcoming
Events."
