Description: In partnership with Craigslist Foundation and the George Mason University’s School of Public Policy, the Phoenix Project proposed to identify the online tools that colleges and universities and community-based organizations need in order to work better together. (Examples might include ways for organizations and potential volunteers to match up their needs, or ways for student volunteers to log their service hours.) Having identified the most valuable tools though a national survey and focus groups, the Phoenix Project is exploring with several national organizations deploying certain tools on existing web-based volunteering portals that can be accessed by colleges and universities across the country.
