Become a Flash Volunteer and Help in the Seattle Area

People often say they would like to volunteer to help others, but may not know how to take the next step. Thanks to the nonprofit Flash Volunteer, those considering volunteering are now more likely to make it happen.

?Seattleites with an afternoon free ? but not sure what to do with it ? now have a new, free, easy way to give back to their community: Flash Volunteer,? Nathan Daum of Flash Volunteer told RESCUECOM.

?The Seattle nonprofit is announcing a complete platform overhaul and new iPhone app from the local group of innovators working so hard over the past few years, pro bono, to revolutionize the way the nonprofit world works,? he continued.

The mobile app makes it simple to volunteer and should encourage even more people to volunteer than the more than 1,000 now enrolled. Flash Volunteer?s website is also undergoing renovation for better connections between volunteers and organizations.

The social aspects of volunteering make it more appealing and help nonprofits accomplish more. People share their volunteer activity on social sites and motivate their friends to participate. Volunteers and nonprofits create communities willing to give to the people who need it most.

Some of the upcoming events looking for volunteers include a fundraising breakfast, a combined Camp Fire USA and Seattle Mariners event, and a chance to become English conversation partners for recent immigrants.

Set up a personal profile page or one for an organization. You can choose from events close to your neighborhood in the Seattle area or causes that are dear to your heart. Other volunteers can send you ?props,? which involves congratulating you on a job well done.

Track your volunteer hours if you need to show them for a school project, for example. Users can even create events and reach out to other volunteers to carry out the events.

?When you are on a volunteer assignment and need phone computer repair, call on a reputable company such as RESCUECOM to provide computer service.

Flash Volunteer is always happy to accept donations and grants to cover operating costs. Even the team behind Flash Volunteer consists of volunteers. The estimate of professional donated work to design and establish the current platform is almost $1 million.

Volunteers have contributed to more than 550 events listed on Flash Volunteer during its existence.

Not quite 3 years old, Flash Volunteer is making a difference in Seattle!
