Effective Volunteer Engagement
Why should we engage more people in our work, beyond helping us literally
complete the work? How do we attract and engage motivated volunteers who
will further our charitable work? We will consider motivation, from the
benefits of volunteering, to our needs and the effort required to
manage/support volunteers. No prior knowledge expected - we'll be
discussing fundamentals. Participants will come away with a position
description template, soft skills to consider, and strategic approaches for
customized volunteer recruitment and engagement.
