Volunteer Oxford is also the community nonprofits and organizations’ resource for locating and recruiting volunteers when needed for projects and events.

The new website will also feature sections that will be very appealing to both the agencies registered with Volunteer Oxford and their volunteers.

“The website will include the Volunteer Oxford Community Spotlight and Volunteer Spotlight,” said Sarah Ball, director of Volunteer Oxford. “Each article is featured on the Volunteer Oxford website for a month. A Community Spotlights is an article that will highlight the agency and perhaps an event or project that may be
going on. Volunteer Spotlights, which are nominated by agencies, recognize outstanding volunteers for their service work in the community.”

Volunteers interested in Volunteer Oxford will more effectively be able to find opportunities that will be listed on the new website. In addition, they will also be able to log all of their volunteer hours.

With the new design, non-profits and agencies registered with Volunteer Oxford will be able to list any special events and volunteer opportunities.
