United Way of San Luis Obispo County is pleased to announce that www.VolunteerSLO.org, the local online volunteer center, has been sponsored by Union Bank and the United Way Youth Board, a youth philanthropy and leadership development program, has been sponsored by Wells Fargo.
United Way of San Luis Obispo County Board Members and staff accept the $5,000 donation from Union Bank representatives.
VolunteerSLO.org connects local agencies with motivated volunteers looking for compatible opportunities. Representatives from nonprofit organizations can recruit volunteers for special one-day events or ongoing needs, as well as promote their upcoming events. Volunteers can browse posted opportunities and connect with their favorite organizations by becoming a fan. VolunteerSLO suggests opportunities based on a volunteer’s interests and past work, and can track their volunteer hours. Employers and service clubs can find opportunities to accommodate large groups, and sign up to volunteer as a team. Thanks to the generous donation from Union Bank, VolunteerSLO.org is free for both nonprofit organizations and volunteers to use.
United Way Youth Board members and advisors accept the $5,000 donation from Wells Fargo representatives.
