Ask David Ontonovich what's so great about virtual volunteering and you'll soon be wondering why more nonprofits aren't taking advantage of this potentially endless source of volunteers. There's the flexibility, the variety, and the accessibility, not to mention the benefits for organizations that decide to make virtual volunteers a part of their programs. As national coordinator of volunteer resources for the Canadian AIDS Treatment Information Exchange (CATIE), Ontonovich has been working with virtual volunteers for years and knows just how valuable they can be. Now he is bringing his expertise to a new initiative, AIDSvolunteers.ca, a portal site that connects volunteers from across Canada with virtual opportunities at AIDS service organizations (ASOs).
