A website is a valuable tool for any community
organisation. It provides a communication link
between stakeholders, existing and prospective
volunteers and the community at large. It is also
a good medium for promoting and acknowledging
sponsors.
The Office for Volunteers has partnered
the UniSA School of Communication (Magill Campus) in an innovative
program that provides volunteer- involving
community organisations with access to the development of free websites, electronic newsletters and brochures, DVDs and other electronic promotions to community groups.
The Sustainable On-Line Community Engagement Program (SOCE) links students at the Uni of SA to community based volunteer groups.
Students partner community organisations in the development of a range of outcomes.
These include a variety of communication and IT tasks such as event management, marketing and public relations skills.
Students also develop web-sites for community organisations that are then hosted free of charge for twelve months. |

a commercial internet service provider
