I wanted to highlight another nonprofit who is uploading their photos on Flicker, the Volunteer Center of United Way in Hartsdale, NY!
They get a silver star, and they can improve their Flickr presence by:
1. Labeling all of their photos with something descriptive that uses some keywords
2. Spelling out RSVP and add their Volunteer Center's name, city and state to the comments for each photo
3. Adding "New York" and "NY" to their tags
4. Explaining why the RSVP volunteers are swing dancing. Is it a volunteer recognition event? A fundraiser?
5. Editing their Flickr profile. I'm assuming they meant to say "increase the quality and number of active volunteers in Westchester"
It's a great first effort!
Both of theses Volunteer Centers could also join the following photo groups on Flickr:
1. VolunteerNow
2. Volunteer Does a Body Good
3. Senior Volunteers

We (Metro Volunteers) have just jumped into Web 2.0. Check out our Flickr.com group: www.flickr.com/groups/metrovolunteers.
What are your recommendations for recruiting group contacts? How does our profile look so far?
Thanks for the great advice! We will certainly put it into action. Here at The Volunteer Center of United Way (Westchester/Putnam NY) we find more and more nonprofits who need volunteers to help keep up their web presence (including us!). If you love working online on sites like facebook, Youtube, myspace, linkedin, flickr and others, give us a call and we can match you with a nonprofit who needs help. Contact 914-227-9313 or shannon@volunteer-center.org (www.volunteer-center.org). For volunteer centers outside our service area go to www.1-800-volunteer.org.
