Online info center links volunteers to projects

Yampavalley.info wants to make it easier for volunteers to find causes. The yampavalley.info project database recently went live with the intent of connecting interested people with local projects, programs and organizations seeking assistance

Any organization within Routt County may add its project to the database, and anyone seeking volunteer work, or perhaps a student looking for a learning project, may search the database for appealing opportunities. The database can be found at www.yampavalley.info/volunteer.asp.
