To enrich the lives of Central New Jersey residents by promoting effective volunteerism and service.

Description:
We connect volunteers with the nonprofit and community organizations who depend on their time and talents. We provide training and professional development in volunteer management to the organizations' leaders and staff, offering workshops and other resources to help them effectively recruit, utilize, retain, and recognize volunteers. We also help corporations have more effective employee volunteer programs.

History:
VolunteerConnect was founded by a group of community volunteers in 1998 as Hands On Helpers. We began simply as a clearinghouse: a free, online service that provided information about volunteer opportunities with local nonprofit organizations. Over the years, we have brought together thousands of volunteers and nonprofits.

Our Mission is to expand the reach, impact, and capacity of community organizations through effective volunteerism. We do this by:

Providing a free, user-friendly and current web site that functions as a volunteer clearinghouse, helping potential volunteers find suitable opportunities through organizations (e.g. non-profits, community groups) that will effectively use them.
Providing appropriate training and professional development to the organizations' leaders and staff, offering workshops and other resources to help them effectively recruit, utilize, retain, and recognize volunteers
Partnering with nonprofits, foundations, corporations, government agencies/officials, and other public and private entities to support initiatives and efforts that match our mission and contribute to the public good.
