Volunteer Hub

Project News & Updates

An initial community consultation and feasibility study indicated an Online Only Hub would be well used by Nelson’s volunteer involving organizations (VIO’s) and would have a high probability of successfully meeting a need and creating benefit to a significant group of people in the community.

The Volunteer Hub project is supporting the creation of an Online, staffed Volunteer Hub, It is undertaking a staged approach that includes creating a solid business plan, confirming potential partnerships and an umbrella organization, and securing funding through to a pilot and the start up, built around sustainability.
