YouTube Launches Video Volunteers

Today, YouTube luanched a cool new program called YouTube Video Volunteers in partnership with allforgood.org, to help connect nonprofit organizations with skilled video makers who can help them broadcast their causes through video, reaching new audiences online and driving action around issues and projects that matter to them.

"We're hoping that this will help nonprofits with one of their constant struggles (content creation) as well as engage a new group of supporters in a meaningful way. I think of it is a step towards Service 2.0, said Ramya Raghavan of YouTube.

This is a great initiative by YouTube! But even more important than YouTube's ability to help you make videos is the visible rise in numbers and importance of online volunteerism. Certainly, all nonprofits need to be identifying their online volunteerism strategy to identify how they can engage more people through more channels, in more places.
