Nonprofits can sign up with RSVP’s LBvision website via hardcopy registration forms, or directly on the website. Once the organization has signed up, and they have become a live link on the LBvision website, then potential volunteers may view that information and send requests for more information on volunteer opportunities for any particular nonprofit they are interested in.

Yes. LBvision is a nonprofit service of the Linn Benton RSVP, also a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, operating as Linn-Benton Volunteers. RSVP is a department of Community Services Consortium.

No, the organizations cannot search for volunteers directly, but the volunteers can directly search for potential volunteer sites through our website. Again, all information presented by potential volunteers is confidential. What sort of volunteer will I get, as a nonprofit organization?
Volunteers come to this website from every walk of life. You will find many different types of people from many different occupations that would like to volunteer for your organization. Anyone looking to make a difference in the community may visit this website for information on exciting volunteer opportunities in the area.
