ATHENS- -- here's a new system to link volunteers with the agencies and organizations that are looking for their services and it's the brainchild of a pair of Concord University Alumni.

Jesse Call and Alex Overmiller are members of AmeriCorps VISTA.

They've received a grant that helped them develop a Web site that's one stop shopping for people who need volunteers and for Concord students, faculty, and staff who want to donate dedicate some of their time to community service.

The new Web site allows people to look for volunteer opportunities based on a wide variety of descriptions.
