What would make your virtual volunteering experiences more satisfying 
to you?
 


1	Being able to do more.

2	If I knew for a fact that it helped someone.

3	More visits to our site!

4	No answer.

5	No answer. 

6	Dunno yet. More connections probably. THis is after all a new 
	horizon and all. Isn't that where you guys help moi? I wish that 
	I could afford to make a terrific web page, and write about 
	tons of stuff. But all of that costs $$$. Having an electic chair 
	again would get me out the door more, and I wish I could find 
	those connections online somehow. It was only folks online 
	who got me out of an abusive situation by assisting in support 
	and some finances. But we are still in a hard spot. I would like 
	to return to getting out more AND volunteering online as well. 
	I need the equipment to do so longterm though.

7	More of it.

8	I'd like to do more, first of all, and I think I'd like to feel more 
	involved in what I was doing. My work with Netday was pretty
	tangential to their primay mission : I was 
	really helping them get other volunteers 
	to do the work of wiring the schools. I'd 
	like to find a way to volunteer via the internet in a situation 
	where I could help more directly with an organization's goals.

9	Seeing results (in this case, that people 
	respond to notices about this organization).

10	That organizations I assist continue with the work after I leave, 
	and that they give me a sense of what is going to happen or has 
	happened as a result of my work.

11	Having better equipment. I work on an antiquated 
	computer... 486, 33 mhz, 14,400 modem. Since I spend a LOT 
	of time researching the Internet for my column, I would LOVE 
	to have a FASTER computer.

12	No answer.

13	More writing opportunities. More opportunities to encourage 
	people on-line to do their best and think possitive. More 
	opportunities to let people know that they're not alone.

14	No answer.

15	No answer.

16	No answer.

17	No answer.

18	To be able to use my writing skills more creatively.

19	Nothing.

20	If organizations had more Info. 
	Technology money to do really  amazing projects.

21	A faster computer and more time. I'm working on the first one.

22	More respect.

23	I guess more active exchange and dialogue. Maintaining the 
	page is a pretty solitary activity for the most part.

24	I think that a receiving a certificate in snail mail (especially 
	when the project was a complicated one) would feel good. 
	Something you can actually see. The idea of a banner or logo 
	to display on my site is a good one. It should link back to here. 
	There could be several types of banners which are awarded for 
	continuous service. The differences could be a simple color 
	variation. Someone saying thanks is nice but having something 
	physical feels good after all the effort.

25	No answer.

26	No answer.

27	Treatments and a cure being found for 
	Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.

28	No answer.

29	More local resources in Prescott to facilitate communication.

30	Recognition of the difficulty in sifting 
	through the websites to 
	extract the pertinent information.

31	No answer.

32	More opportunities would be good.

33	No answer.

34	Less spam.

35	Working with a team on a larger project 
	with the opportunity to learn from others.

36	No answer.

37 	No answer.

38	No answer.

39	A big increase in association membership, and other signs
	that the work I do makes a difference.

40	It can't get any more satisfying than it is now!  :)
	We have received some media and academic recognition
	and that is always exciting.  It is an incredible
	feeling knowing that you are a part of this success.

41	more help- more support - more trained volunteers.
	The heads of the organizations need to be more
	involved in the web.

42	No answer.
