2. Where to find volunteers most likely to be interested in supporting your mission;

3. Ways to approach and develop relationships with them virtually;

4. How to get your organization’s leadership onboard with virtual volunteer opportunities;

and 5. What NYAVA has to offer Volunteer Managers.

About The International Social Impact (founded by Liz Ngonzi) Through partnerships such as with Hunter College, City University of New York, and those under development with institutions in Europe, South America, and Africa, The International Social Impact Institute seeks to facilitate interactions among change makers and to assist in training more of them. It further seeks to enhance the access of nonprofit organizations and social enterprises to the kinds of resources, knowledge, and networks that will enable them to rebound from the setbacks they have recently experienced. ISII will inspire, connect, activate, and transform students and professionals who are interested in social sector careers in New York City and around the world (particularly in developing countries). In support of our goals, ISII offers courses, forums, training, and consulting services designed to: 1. Support the development of future leaders for the social sector; 2. Foster the development of social sector employees; and 3. Promote connections among nonprofits, social enterprises, foundations, corporate social responsibility offices, impact investors, and academic and sector-based experts.
