Volunteering Portal-Victoria

Victoria's Volunteering Portal is an online community and information resource for Victorian volunteers and volunteering organisations.

The website is published by the Victorian Government's Community Participation Programs unit within the Department of Planning and Community Development.

Victoria's Volunteering Portal aims to inform, support and inspire everyone involved in volunteering through:

• Detailed information for prospective and current volunteers about how, where and why to volunteer
• A central source of best practice information, tools and resources for volunteer managers, coordinators and others involved in running volunteer organisations
• Opportunities to share stories, recognise achievements, give feedback and learn through others in the volunteering community
• Online discussion and collaboration tools to help share knowledge, pool resources and build a vibrant online community of volunteers and volunteer organisations (to be launched later in 2010)
• A comprehensive matching tool linking volunteers with volunteering opportunities across rural, regional and metropolitan Victoria (to be launched later in 2010)
• A free web presence for large, medium and small Victorian volunteer-based organisations (to be launched later in 2010)
