Agencies looking for volunteers create profiles of opportunities they wish to fill based on skills, interests and geographic location.
Volunteers seeking positions create similar profiles.
The VOE uses this information to match the available opportunities with a database of available volunteers. They will have the benefit of providing their users with corporate-specific information while tapping into a national database of volunteer opportunities. Corporate users will then be taken to a customized Web environment, which will feature key information about volunteerism. This portal, similar to a mini-Web site on volunteerism, will be written for and aimed at the corporate users. The national VOE system can then be accessed directly from any page on this portal.
