Fredericton Volunteer Centre: Building momentum
According to a recent survey by the Fredericton Volunteer Centre, there is both a great deal of support for a volunteer centre, along with a clear demonstration of need. That is good news according to organizers, who have been busy building awareness and support of their initiative. Over the past month they have made several public presentations, including one to Fredericton City Council. Organizers have also been engaging other Volunteer Centre organizations throughout the province in order to adapt their models and best practices.
As the Volunteer Centre’s steering committee continues to move ahead, there are indications that some tangible services will be launched in the short-term. Currently, the City of Fredericton, Greater Fredericton Social Innovation and Volunteer Centre organizers are collaborating on the development of a virtual volunteer matching service.
