Description:
The Volunteer Lounge is a customized TIG project that current volunteers are able to access from our online volunteering page and it is designed as a space for our teams to connect with each other, communicate success stories and tips, ask questions, exchange resources and access any opportunities we want to share with them. We hope this space will help volunteers feel more connected with each other and introduce an innovation in the ways virtual teams can access support and share know-how.
Background:
This page is part of TIG's Online Volunteering program, and was developed to help our current volunteers to stay up-to-date on relevant opportunities, volunteer stories and profiles and access resources. Visit our OV page to find out more: http://volunteers.tigweb.org
