Volunteer Management 101: How to build a strong and healthy volunteer program
 

Volunteers are the backbone of many nonprofits, yet many organizations find managing volunteers to be one of the most challenging aspects of nonprofit life. The key to a successful volunteer management program is the way that you execute the three R’s – recruiting, retaining and recognizing volunteers.

This session will explore some examples of successful volunteer programs, and address the following topics:
-    Why people volunteer   
-    New ways to recruit, manage and place high quality volunteers
-    Revitalizing a volunteer program that has become stale
-    Ensuring collaboration between volunteers and staff
-    Effective ways to recognize your volunteers

If you are looking to initiate a new volunteer program, or enhance the success of an existing one this session is not to be missed. It is intended for board members, executive directors, senior staff and development staff.
