Energize, Inc This is my favorite link in the field. It is a one stop, interactive site with monthly HOT topics, the best bookstore in the field, including many e-books and information and links to everything you need to know in the field. Over 1000 free pages of practical and provocative information for the volunteer management field: a monthly "Hot Topic" essay by Energize president Susan J. Ellis--and responses from site visitors; an online Volunteer Management Library of hundreds of articles, book excerpts, and annotated Web links organized by topic; and so much more! Court
Appointed Special Advocates This site has an extensive section on Volunteer Management (Volunteer screening, recruitment, interviewing, evaluation, retention, etc.) which, although written for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) is great material which can be adapted to nearly any organization. Much of the material was written by Steve McCurley and Rick Lynch. Blue Avocado Magazine This is a nonprofit online magazine for community nonprofits. It is published every third Tuesday through a HTML newsletter delivered to more than 60,000 subscribers. It is free due to sponsor support. Jan Masaoka is the Director and Editor in Chief and the magazine is guided by a steering committee at Compass Point in San Francisco, CA. I look forward to reading this every month. Volunteering England This site offers a good deal of excellent information on topics as varied as corporate employee volunteering, engaging a diverse volunteer force and more, including downloadable guides on specific subjects.
