Volunteer Central of Tulsa

As a partner in Tulsa County Emergency Operations Plan, Volunteer Central of Greater Tulsa will activate the Emergency Operations Call Center to triage needs of responding organizations and to connect spontaneous unaffiliated volunteers interested and able to assist in the event of an emergency or disaster—similar to the December 2007 ice storm.

Organizations taking part in emergency/disaster response and that need volunteers

Citizens who are able and available--those not already involved as first responders or certified in emergency response--to learn how and where to help.

Seasons of Service and National Campaigns, sponsored and promoted by the Points of Light/Hands On Network, is a portfolio of national opportunities for people to volunteer for service projects and activities throughout the year. More than 20 million people volunteer each year to be part of the Seasons of Service-a year-round action plan to illustrate how a single day of service can grow into an ongoing habit of helping communities. Each day of service is sponsored by a national organization and focuses on a theme that targets a specific group. Promotes volunteerism in our community and provide opportunities for project-oriented problem solving, planning, teaching, researching, networking, and increasing community awareness PLUS tapping into national media focus generated by the Foundation. The idea is to turn people on to service so they will become life-long volunteers. Learn more at http://www.pointsoflight.org/programs/seasons/.
