A new project promoting volunteering was launched in the Czech Republic this October by the biggest Czech on-line job portal jobs.cz. The project called Dobro.cz aims to promote the activity of volunteers, increase the enrolment of new volunteers, make the activities of nonprofit organizations more visible to the public and help NGOs to gain capacities. “We are convinced that the best way of promoting volunteering is to show concrete stories and experiences of people. To have an idea is often enough and you are able to help in the way which would never occur to you,” says the manager of Jobs.cz, Jaroslav Cerny. On the web pages of the project (www.dobro.cz), volunteers can share their experiences and adventures, and organizations have the possibility to post their photos and videos as well as to thank volunteers for their work. Who else should inspire the others than the active citizens who want to achieve something? Moreover, on the web portal www.Jobs.cz, each nonprofit organization can request volunteers, whereby such offers appear right next to standard jobs. FoRS, the Czech forum of Development Cooperation, became the official partner of this project.
