TA Tuesday: Photo sharing, volunteering, websites

Having an event and want photos taken?

A photographer may not be in your budget but GuestCam may be.

GuestCam is an online photo and video-sharing capture, share, and preservation tool. All guests have to do is snap the QR code or use a link and take pics. No app to download, no guest sign-up needed. Pictures can be organized, shared when taken or after the fact.


Nonprofits, free volunteer recruitment platform

Volunteer River Counties launched last month to help bridge the nonprofit/volunteer (potential volunteer) divide. Nonprofits on the NNK and MP post opportunities and people―interested in doing good, meeting others, sharing a talent, making a difference, solving a problem, getting out of the house―look for organizations and volunteer opportunities which resonate.

According to the website,

Volunteer River Counties focuses on four priorities to build volunteer capacity across Lancaster, Middlesex, and Northumberland counties in Virginia:

1. Build a stronger culture of service, volunteerism and civic engagement by implementing the Virginia Community Engagement Index (VCEI) in the region and building awareness of and access to close-to-home volunteer opportunities across the River Counties, utilizing best-in-class technology to support volunteer engagement.

2. Unite a more robust, integrated, and aligned network of cross-sector partners to coalesce around common strategies and best practices resulting in the effective use of volunteer capacity to serve the needs of the community.

3. Create a more robust infrastructure through evidence-based practices and shared resources that will support organizations and individuals in volunteerism efforts.

4. Complete a strategic plan for long-term sustainability of volunteer capacity
