<h1 class="title">WANTED ADS - Help, Advice, Networking.</h1>
<div class="document" id="wanted-ads-help-advice-networking">
<p>This is the workspace for the "WANTED ADS - Help, Advice, Networking."</p>
<p>The <strong>discussion area</strong> is a place to advertise requests for people to help, requests for people to participate in something, requests for people to offer support, etc., and a place to advertise more of the same that YOU can provide to others. It is intended as a one-stop entry point for anyone looking to build networks of contacts, solicit an introduction or find someone who might know someone who can help you .... or to simply post your Wants and Offers.</p>
<p>The <strong>workspace</strong> could be a place that supports the discussion, where people post:
* links to online sites that post volunteering opportunities
* links to online sites that promote volunteering
* links to online resources relating to involving volunteers effectively
* offline resources relating to volunteering or involving volunteers effectively
* links to online sites that post jobs in aid/humanitarian/development-related work
* offline resources relating to working in aid/humanitarian/development
* links to advocacy-related online resources that provide good networking opportunities
* details about organizations and conferences that provide good opportunities for networking around aid/humanitarian/development work, volunteering, advocacy, etc.</p>
<p>Those are just a few of one person's ideas -- please add to the list! Anyone can edit this workspace!</p>
