Get Connected is ServeOhio’s new volunteer engagement platform and is the only statewide volunteer portal in Ohio. The site compiles volunteer engagement resources from across the state and helps volunteers find ways to get involved and address needs in their local communities.
Get Connected drives volunteers to local resources first by listing volunteer centers across the state. A volunteer center is an organization in a local community, usually serving an entire county, the compiles lists of volunteer opportunities and other resources with their local partners. Volunteer centers are incredible resources for the communities where they exist, but unfortunately there are not volunteer centers in all 88 counties in Ohio. That is where Get Connected comes in – for organizations seeking volunteers that do not have access to a local volunteer center, they can post their opportunities directly on Get Connected to recruit volunteers. Get Connected is available to nonprofits, faith-based organizations, government organizations, and community organizations in Ohio.
