All for Good: A New "Craigslist for Service"

Be on the look-out for this newly created website by Craig Newmark of Craigslist and several others. A group of individuals, inspired by President Obama's vow to make service a "a central cause" of his presidency, have banded together to create a new website that aims to become a craigslist for service. It's called All For Good.

As noted in Suzanne Perry's article, the All For Good website includes information about volunteer activities from groups such as AARP, Habitat for Humanity, Idealist, Network for Good, the Points of Light Institute, and the Sierra Club. In addition to helping people search for volunteer opportunities by region, the site helps them connect with other people who share their interest in particular causes through social-networking applications like Facebook Connect, or by checking that they like specific volunteer opportunities. This will become another viable networking vehicle.
