How does your pool of volunteers find out about opportunities? Is
there a way for an organization to submit a profile or list of
volunteer possibilities?
Clarification -- UNITeS is not a placement agency. It neither
recruits nor places volunteers. Instead, it:
-- offers resources for volunteers using ICT as part of their service
in developing countries and with underserved communities, regardless
of what organization they are serving under
-- promotes volunteer involvement as essential to ICT4D succcess.
UNITeS has no "pool of volunteers."
As for the United Nations Volunteers programme -- people apply to be
UNVs and, if accepted, are placed in a roster (only a very, very
small percentage of people make the cut), and then, if an opportunity
comes up that matches their rostered profile, they are contacted.
Volunteers are placed for six months to two years.
If you are interested in involving UN Volunteers in your program, you
need to contact UNV. Their contact info is at www.unvolunteers.org;
you can also contact the UNDP office nearest to the potential UNV
placement (UNV is a part of UNDP).
Also -- I'm no longer affiliated with UNV.
