The Volunteering Development Platform (VODPLA) is a direct response to the requests, requirements and needs of the national Red Cross Societies in America.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1. Knowledge management.

The people who register with all their data will be able to offer services during an emergency event. Each volunteer manager of every NS will be able to manage the database online and generate and send notifications to all people registered \u2013 e.g. communicating that it is required people to help in distribution centers, inform the interested population about the emergency in the country, etc.\n\n(2) Volunteering opportunities<\/a>. The NS will be able to post open volunteering opportunities in their organizations and receive requests about it.\n\n(3) Finance a project<\/a>. The NS will be able to post projects that require financial resources. Possible donors can see the options and contact the NS to offer their support.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Also, the VODPLA is part of the Interamerican Centre for Volunteering Development (ICVD). This Center is a key result of the efforts and strategies in the Americas region to provide better services to National Societies. This initiative was developed in consultation with the National Societies in the region, to serve as a multi functional Center that can help National Societies achieve their own objectives related to the development and management of volunteering. In addition, it aims to maximize and promote the existing experience and knowledge in the region to benefit a wider audience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
