Volunteer Engagement 101

Volunteers can support your organization in a myriad of ways: time, resources, connections, and more. But how do you create and maintain a strong volunteer program which meets the needs of your agency while ensuring that volunteers are happy and engaged? In this interactive workshop, we’ll discuss best practices for the basics of volunteer engagement, such as:

• Volunteer recruitment
• Volunteer intake (application, interview, background check, etc.) and orientation
• Volunteer job descriptions, handbooks, release forms, and other essential documents
• Volunteer retention and appreciation

Participants will leave the workshop with a comprehensive understanding of basic volunteer engagement best practices, plus excellent resources to help them design and/or update their volunteer engagement program.
