ColoringLIFE- A platform to connect volunteers with causes

The goal of the document is to guide NGOs in creating a positive and meaningful Volunteer Experience and of course how ColoringLIFE can help them. If you are new to volunteering, ColoringLIFE has a very helpful blog article that will help you in getting started with the Volunteering journey for your organization, click here to read further. If done right, volunteers can help you increase your capacity in serving the community and serving the mission of your organization. Identify where you need help, the skillsets you need, how much time commitment you need, is this an individual role or you need a team etc. You can browse through some existing volunteer opportunities on ColoringLIFE click here to get some ideas and inspirations, this might help you discover additional opportunities as well. Once you have defined your Volunteer needs, ColoringLIFE provides a very simple and intuitive interface to create a "Volunteer Opportunity" in your NGO Profile, we also have tools to help you promote it. Once completed, the opportunity is published on ColoringLIFE for prospective volunteers to discover. ColoringLIFE also regularly spotlights selected opportunities on Facebook and Twitter, which goes out to hundreds of our followers. Want your Opportunity to be the next one in the Spotlight? Just need to reach out here. As volunteers apply to the opportunity, ColoringLIFE would connect you with the applicants through email. Promptly engage with them, answer their queries, give them more information about your cause, the mission of the Organization, why you need volunteers, how would this position make a difference to the cause and the community. It always helps in making a positive impression as you are making a new ally for your cause in the community. All of this might sound daunting (think of a simple word), to simplify this ColoringLIFE provides an Opportunity Dashboard, which you can access by logging in to your ColoringLIFE profile. As volunteers are taking the time out of their busy lives to help you, you should have a plan thought out on how you would meaningfully engage with them. Things that would make the opportunity not a "job" for the volunteers, but a fulfilling positive experience. It does not have to be a very detailed formal plan, it could be small things e.g. setting up a Orientation day, where volunteer(s) can visit the NGO and get comfortable with the setting, have the opportunity to break the ice and know more about the tasks they would help out with. One of the best ways to compensate for the efforts of a Volunteer is: Recognition.We at ColoringLIFE are working towards providing you easy tools to recognize Volunteer efforts on various social media including Facebook and Twitter. Also, we regularly spotlight deserving volunteers in our Blog and would love to hear about the great work someone did to help you with your cause. Also, when you recognize a Volunteer's effort, you are also spreading the good word about your organization and its cause.
