The Extraordinaries is a new service that aims to make it easy for volunteers to discover projects that have been sliced and diced into bite-sized pieces that can easily be done by lots of a people over their mobile phones within minutes. It’s called “crowdsourcing,” and it promises to add new potential to virtual volunteering.
I was curious what nonprofits need to know to take part, so I caught up with Jacob Colker, co-founder of The Extraordinaries, at this year’s Netsquared Conference:
Do you see crowdsourcing in the future of your volunteering program? What would you have to change in order to take advantage of this trend?

Welcome! BTW, congrats on winning at Netsquared. And thanks too for being the official first commenter on this new blog from VolunteerMatch. Looks like you’re blazing trails in more ways than one.
Nice post as for me. It would be great to read something more concerning that topic.
