One For Another is a Volunteerism Project that originated from a Community Impact Forum in Central Virginia held in Lynchburg on May 2009. The project launched September 1, 2009, with funds provided by the Community Impact Committee from United Way. One For Another also recently received funds from the Greater Lynchburg Community Trust.
Our goal is to increase volunteerism in Central Virginia by enabling volunteers to match their skills, desires and availability with the needs and volunteer opportunities throughout the Central Virginia Region 2000 -- the 2,000 square miles around Lynchburg, Virginia. Well into the discovery phase -- growing the Volunteer Opinion Group (VOG), learning more from various Service Providers and gathering requirements and issues in regards to preparing for and utilizing volunteers. Now we're testing a web-based tool that will aid the non-profits and volunteers to make the best, most efficient use of all parties' time to best meet the needs of those we serve. One For Another is building training programs and processes to help:
Recruit. Respect. Retain
those Community Heroes who serve selflessly and faithfully one for another.
We invite you to become part of this new Volunteer Resource that is focused on adding more value, more opportunities, more resources, more engery and focus to Central Virginia's Volunteeers and Organization.
