Retention, Retention, Retention!  

Volunteer Managers Workshop

It’s not just about RECRUITING volunteers - it’s about RETAINING them once you have them! A high rate of volunteer retention can reduce time and energy spent on recruiting and training, build volunteer loyalty and support, develop volunteers’ skills and competency, and increase community support for your organization. Retention of volunteers is no accident - it's a conscious effort and guiding principle which underlies every stage of the volunteer process from recruitment, training & orientation to daily management and recognition. Through a guided group discussion, participants will learn practical tips, techniques and best practices for keeping and building a satisfied, dedicated and supportive corps of volunteers.

Principal learning objectives are to gain a greater understanding and appreciation for:
- The value and importance of volunteer retention
- The factors which motivate people to volunteer
- How to incorporate strategies for volunteer retention into all stages of the volunteer process.

Take-aways:
- Tips for improving recruitment and training efforts
- Strategies to keep volunteers satisfied and motivated
- Effective ways to reward and appreciate volunteers

Kevin Moss, Adult Education and Volunteer Coordinator of Cornell Plantations, will be presenting.
