e-Volunteers - Restoring Community Using the Internet

   • Raise awareness of the social capital deficit among technologists
   • Encourage community participation by technologists
   • Implement Internet solutions for non-profits that build social capital

Democracy. Neighborhood gatherings. Civic activities. All cornerstones of American society. Yet the past three decades have seen a decline in all forms of civic engagement and in the human connections that build strong communities.

e-Volunteers leverages the power of the Internet to reconnect people and revitalize participation — rebuilding the “social capital” that is the foundation of dynamic communities. We unite teams of talented technology volunteers with non-profit organizations, facilitating Internet solutions that provide an immediate, effective forum for community engagement. With a presence in many major cities, including New York, Boston, and San Francisco, e-Volunteers has already begun helping to revive the American community.

"Feedback from parents, staff, and the Board of Directors has been very positive. They now have a very efficient way of communicating information about the school to family members, prospective benefactors, politicians, and government agencies."

"The Elizabeth Peabody House had realized the need for a web site but had neither the resources nor the expertise to implement the project. The phone rang at 7:30 AM and it was e-Volunteers offering to design our web site for us!"
