FastWeb, a scholarship matching engine and a site within the Monster Worldwide network, announced the launch of FastWeb Volunteers, a free resource that connects students, parents and educators with thousands of volunteer opportunities nationwide. As a growing number of scholarships cite volunteer experience among the application requirements, FastWeb Volunteers offers students an easy way to find projects that may help enhance their eligibility.
Launched as part of an alliance with VolunteerMatch, a national nonprofit dedicated to helping everyone find a great place to volunteer, FastWeb Volunteers helps seekers identify meaningful opportunities from the VolunteerMatch network of more than 56,000 nonprofits and other volunteer organizations – the largest on the web. Collectively, these organizations currently offer over 50,000 active volunteer openings spanning 28 interest areas, such as children and youth, disaster relief and crisis support.
