As a Premier Partner we would like to invite you to join in participating in one of the Volunteer Center programs listed below:
LEADERSHIP VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
FOR INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTEERS
Skills Bank
The Volunteer Center For Anne Arundel County (Volunteer Center) Skills Bank is a collaborate initiative that will provide a means for our nonprofit partners to connect with volunteers who have specific skills required by the nonprofit to meet their organizational needs. Examples include:
- Designing an organization’s website
- Conducting Statistical research
- Training on human resource issues
- Providing expert carpentry skills
- Translating program materials into another language
- Presenting workshops to students
How does the Skills Bank work?
An organization submits a Skills Bank Request form to Volunteer Center with as much notice as possible. Requests can range in project diversity, length of commitment, and level of expertise. This request will be posted on the Volunteer Center website at www.volunteerannearundel.org. Interested individuals will contact the organization directly to inquire about the project.
The Volunteer Center provides the Skills Bank as a resource to our Agency Partners. It is the responsibility of the agency to screen any individuals who inquire about the project.
How does an organization submit a request for the Skills Bank?
There are two options:
- Email a complete project and skills description to Lee Owens at Lee@volunteerannearundel.org (preferred), or
- Submit a Skills Bank Request Form to the Volunteer Center via fax at (410) 222-4589.
