TechMission has launched a free website ChristianVolunteering.org with the goal of matching hundreds of thousands of volunteers to Christian volunteer opportunities in urban ministries and short-term missions. Volunteers just type in their zip code to find a list of Christian volunteer opportunities or search by interest area or skills. Organizations can also post their opportunities for free.

Volunteers can also search for virtual volunteering where they volunteer from home by providing services at a distance. For example, a Web designer in San Francisco could volunteer to provide a website to an urban ministry in Kansas City. Some of the many potential virtual volunteer areas include opportunities for accounting, graphics designing, computer programming, grant writing, language translation, legal support, prayer and online tutoring.
