PREB allows your organization to:

• Provide recognition to their volunteers by highlighting their skills and showcasing the tasks accomplished
• Help volunteers in their job searches by describing, in specific professional terms, their volunteer experiences to potential employers
• Draft job descriptions that are clear and well constructed in order to increase the recruiting, managing and retaining of volunteers

Laptops will be provided to enable participants to set up accounts, navigate the PREB site and begin creating certificates for their volunteer programs.
