Connect RCT is a community platform that allows community organisations to post and promote specific volunteer opportunities for their organisations. It also allows volunteers to find opportunities that are suitable to fit around their lifestyle. The benefits of this are that opportunities can be searched by community area, themes and topics that allow volunteers to find the most suitable position with hours and areas of interest that suit them.
By joining as a member, volunteers can ‘log’ their volunteer hours against different organisations and organisations can do the same for their volunteers.
Having a log of the hours volunteered is useful for both the volunteer and the organisation offering the volunteering role. As a volunteer, you can print or export 'Your impact' on Connect RCT (a bit like a social CV) to show how much you've helped your community. This can be used for job applications, DofE awards or other such scenarios where providing evidence that you've helped others is beneficial to you.
As a volunteering organisation, logging hours completed by your volunteers is vital to understand the impact that you've achieved (and how useful Connect RCT was in helping you to find volunteers).
To help you understand the more in-depth use of this feature, Interlink RCT can run training sessions on how to use Connect RCT to log your volunteer opportunities.
