how do i attract volunteers to be in the new organization?
The organization is an oversea orphanage center in Asia, and im volunteer my time alone in the state trying to raise money to help orphans. But i need people to help me and have fun together doing fundraising to help the kids. where do i find selfless people to get involved, as i am a disable person who have many time to spare in making a different and barely go out getting to know anyone.
First, you need to plan on how you will involve volunteers: you need to have designated tasks, just as you would if they were paid staff. You need to be more specific than asking for fundraising volunteers — what is it exactly these volunteers will *do*? How will they be trained and supported by your organization? How will you screen them to ensure that they have no criminal backgrounds? How will you supervise them to ensure they do what they are supposed to do? You aren’t ready to involve volunteers until you can answer all of those questions.
Only then are you ready to recruit local people, through churches, temples and mosques, through clubs, through associations, etc. to be volunteers.
If you want international volunteers — that will take a tremendous amount of support and infrastructure on your part. More information this:

You need to find a sponsor. Get a business that is willing to help you. It would be a great tax deduction. Then get the word out. People that have the heart you need will jump on board.
