GAP's Non Profit for April 2008: Step Up!
Mission Statement:
Step Up! a community volunteer center will mobilize the citizens of Horry County and the broader coastal community to meet critical needs through volunteer service, increasing civic engagement. Our goal is to encourage people to make a difference in their own lives and in the lives of those around them by contributing their time and efforts to worthwhile, direct service experiences in partnership with over 100 non-profit community-based agencies.
Step Up!, Volunteer Center provides people with easy access to a wide variety of opportunities to their community through civic service.
For example, Step Up!:
-Connects people with volunteer opportunities doing centralized recruitment and referral of volunteers through individual interviews, directories, searchable database listings and more;
-Manage or promote, community-wide service events such as National Volunteer Week, Family Volunteer Day, or large-scale community volunteer events;
-Design programs targeted for special populations of volunteers, including families, youth, seniors, employees, students, or court-referred volunteers;
-Involve volunteers in ongoing direct service volunteer programs of the Volunteer Center itself, such as mentoring or tutoring programs; and
-Promote episodic and short-term volunteer opportunities through monthly project calendars, web site, volunteer clubs, and the like.
