In the late 1990s, I co-wrote The Virtual Volunteering Guidebook with Susan Ellis. It is a free manual to help organizations involve online volunteers, as well as to use online tools to support all volunteers. I am currently revising this Guidebook.

If you ever have been a volunteer, OR if you have worked with volunteers in *any* capacity -- side-by-side or as a manager/primary staff contact -- I invite you to complete this survey regarding the use of online tools to support volunteers, to help me in my efforts to revise this guidebook.

By volunteer, I mean someone who has provided some kind of work support without pay to a nonprofit organization, community-based group (such as a school), or government initiative focused on the community (such as a city-sponsored park cleanup).

When talking about your experience, you can talk about more than one organization. But remember that most questions relate to your experience only regarding volunteering or working with volunteers.

Please note that this survey is NOT limited to any country or region.

I plan to share the results in the next edition of the Virtual Volunteering Guidebook. To know when the guidebook is released, please subscribe to my blog (which you are reading now) or Tech4Impact (my email newsletter).

Thanks, and feel free to spread the word!
