There are many great opportunities for anyone to serve as a volunteer. Opportunities to work with children, feed the homeless, build houses, and do manual labor all seem to be easy ways to volunteer. However, if someone wants to use their skills to volunteer, it can be much more challenging. This causes us to consider something we call “skill-based volunteering.”

Non profits actually need skill based volunteers.  I have had the joy of serving alongside many non profits and most need the skills that their volunteers use every day.  Almost all ministries and nonprofits are struggling with good strategy and clarity in communication. There are often gaps in leadership, as well.
