Volunteer Recruitment

About the Workshop:

Volunteer Recruitment

Volunteers can support your organization in a myriad of ways: time, resources, connections, and more. But how do you effectively recruit volunteers which meet the needs of your programs? In this interactive workshop, we'll explore best practices for volunteer recruitment, such as:

· Designing your recruitment strategy

· Creating targeted recruitment communications

· Writing attractive recruitment appeals

· Sweetening the deal: volunteer-benefits-centered recruitment

· Utilizing your agency’s website and social media for recruitment

· Maximizing your networks for volunteer recruitment

· Beyond the initial contact: guiding interested prospects into volunteerism

· And more!

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