I rarely talk about projects I am working on before they launch, but I am pretty excited about this one.

I am breaking my “silence” rule, because it has been broken for me with a nice “buzz” campaign.

I am working with the station to create iCanHelpTwinCities.com. This is a site that will allow local churches and non-profit organizations to post volunteer needs they have. People looking for ways to plug in can search the database of opportunities to connect with these volunteer needs (because, HEY, we all have a ton of free time right??).

It is kind of like a “Craig’s List” for volunteers!

We have already heard from a number of organizations that are really excited to have this tool at their disposal.

I guess what excites me about this project is that it really has a chance to make the Twin Cities better, on a large scale. I don’t know that I have worked on a project that has as much potential as this one.

So, here’s the deal! We are looking for organizations to help us test out the sign-up and posting tools. We are pretty confident they work, but we want to make sure they are easy enough to use and meet the needs of the posting organizations. If you work for a non-profit that uses volunteers, or know someone who may be interested (I am thinking Twin Cities 7 County Metro Area), feel free to leave a comment on this blog post. We would love to have you try it out and give us your feedback.
