The document summarizes the topics discussed and feedback gathered at a focus group regarding the development of a volunteer website. The focus group discussed what types of information and features volunteers and nonprofit organizations want on the website, including volunteer placement, training resources, virtual volunteering opportunities, and how to make the site easy to use. Participants provided input on topics like governance resources, business planning tools, and interactive features like wikis.
