I hope we stop talking about virtual volunteering

[Jayne Cravens]

A blog this month that got a lot of attention: 

I hope we stop talking about virtual volunteering

What I mean is: I hope we will stop talking about online volunteers versus onsite volunteers. I would be so happy to never hear the phrase “virtual” volunteers, distinguishing them from “real” volunteers, ever again. I hope that, at last, all managers of volunteers realize they need to be using the Internet to engage and support ALL volunteers.

Check it out and let me know your thoughts in the comments on the blog.
