About the Virtual Volunteering Project
These are four sample online orientations by four different not-for-profit organizations; these can help you create your own online orientation. Each is quite different, and there is a short introduction at the beginning of each sample that explains some of the differences.
These samples are the emails a person receives upon completing an online volunteer application on the organization's Web site, or upon emailing the organization about volunteering online.
We strongly suggest that your online orientation be done via email rather than via your Web site; this is much more efficient for both you and the volunteer. However, feel free to direct the volunteer to certain pages on your Web site within your orientation email (as many organizations do below).
