I would like to know YOUR favorite online resources regarding volunteerism / volunteers (especially the support and management of such), nonprofits or NGOs (non-governmental organizations), including Tweeters, in languages OTHER than English.
Spanish, French or German are most desired, but any language – Arabic, Persian Farsi / Dari / Tajik /, Hindi, whatever – would be welcomed.
In short, I’m looking for the Spanish, French, German, Arabic and other non-USA, non-English-language versions of Energize, Inc., of VolunteerMatch, of TechSoup, etc.
Please send the name of the resource, the URL of the resource, and a summary of what the resource is – does it focus on volunteer management? On nonprofits / NGOs / charities using the Internet? Or helping organizations recruit volunteers? Or fundraising / resource mobilization? Or any aspect of management? Is it a web site? A database? A Twitter feed?
I have some of these resources already, but I would like to have more. I will share what I’ve compiled already and what’s submitted – and is what I’m looking for – on my web site, and announce the page here on my blog, as well as my Twitter feed and my Facebook page.

In Brazil: Voluntarios Online Portal – http://www.voluntariosonline.org.br (we have also an english version) Our main focus is helping nonprofits organizations recruit online and onsite volunteers. We have UNV (United Nations Volunteer Programme) as an institutional partner and we also follow the work of TechSoup!
Great idea, Jayne! If you collect these, we’ll link to your page, too, to help colleagues find this information.
