A lot of you post jobs here, but did you know you can also post volunteer opportunity and internship listings for free on Idealist.org?

Some quick facts:

• Volunteer opportunities and internships can remain on the site for up to six months, so you won’t need to re-post your organization’s frequent or long-standing needs.
• Users can search for your volunteer opportunity by duration and type of commitment (for those of us who only want to volunteer for, say, 3 hours on weekends for four months), and whether your opportunity is suitable for groups or families.
• Even paid internships are free to post!

Want to go for it? If you’ve posted on Idealist before, I know this looks familiar:

To get to this lovely screen, you’ll have to log into your Idealist.org account, and click on Post a Listing. Select the type of listing you’d like to create, and which organization you’d like to post on behalf of. If you don’t have access to your organization’s page, just search for it and click on the Become an Administrator button. If you haven’t added your organization yet, what are you waiting for? Click the yellow Add Your Org button now.

(Note: I’ve written some how-to’s to help polish up your organization’s Idealist.org profile. If you haven’t been following along, you can catch up here.)
