UNV honours outstanding Online Volunteering teams
On December 5th 2007, the United Nations Volunteers Online Volunteering service announced the winners of the “Online Volunteering Team of the Year Award”.  The ten winning teams, comprising online volunteers and their volunteer managers at the host organizations, made an exemplary impact on human development through their efficient online collaboration and commitment to volunteering.  

A jury of experts in volunteerism, development and online collaboration selected the winners of the Online Volunteering Team of the Year Award based on the volunteers’ commitment, the organization’s approach towards online volunteer involvement, the online collaboration and its impact on the organizations’ development activities.

The purpose of this annual award is to recognize the contributions of online volunteers to human development, to demonstrate how development organizations can strengthen their activities through effective online collaboration with volunteers, and to showcase the diversity in which online volunteers can support development organizations.

Further information about the winning teams is available on the UNV Online Volunteering service website: www.onlinevolunteering.org
