Volunteer Expo, Asheville, North Carolina
With the decline in public media--newspapers and alternative weeklies especially, it's increasingly difficult for organizations to get the word out about volunteer opportunities.
The Hill Center on Capitol Hill in DC sponsors something similar, focused on the Capitol Hill neighborhood, but the room they hold it in is too small. I suggested they move it to Eastern Market's North Hall, but they evinced zero interest.
In "Outline for a proposed Ward-focused (DC) Councilmember campaign platform and agenda" (2015), I suggested each city political district should sponsor a volunteer expo, based on the Hill Center effort, but of course, a city-wide event can be just as good.
More opportunities need to be provided to seed community involvement.
