prepare your organization for pro bono volunteers as a new resource from the
Corporation for National and Community Service designed to assist nonprofit
organizations to assess the internal need and readiness of organizations to
leverage pro bono volunteers and to manage pro bono projects to benefit both
the volunteer and the organization.<br>
<br>
Pro bono volunteers are those who bring a high level of technical skill to
volunteer assignments. The old model of a long term commitment to appear at
your agency for a given number of hours on a regular basis for an unlimited
period of time is not what these professional, highly skilled volunteers are
looking for. This requires a major mind shift for you as the manager of
volunteers and for your agency at the senior management level. </span></font></p>
