This is a Beta version of a platform currently developed by the V-CALC project
What is V-CALC
Project Description
The Volunteering Impact Measurement Training in Europe (V- CALC) project is a two-year partnership between six organisations from five European countries: UK, Belgium, Spain, Albania and Croatia.
The V-CALC project was developed to address the issue that there is currently no methodology which measures the impact of volunteer involvement across nations. The V-CALC project will develop a user-friendly online platform, which will gather data about volunteer involvement and volunteers. Volunteer managers and coordinators will be trained during the V-CALC project, on how to use the online platform.
The V-CALC project aims to develop a robust and reliable methodology to gather data about the impact of volunteering, types of volunteering and the demographic and motivations of volunteers. The V-CALC platform also aims to measure the impact of volunteering on building social and human capital and on promoting common European values.
The data gathered from the V-CALC online platform will be used to inform policy nationally and cross-nationally and aims to make the contribution of volunteer involvement to civic society more visible across Europe.
