Volunteer Success Announces the Launch of the Offers by Volunteers Feature

By: Volunteer Success

Volunteer Success is proud to announce the launch of Offers by Volunteers feature on our website! Beyond simply applying to volunteer opportunities posted by organizations, our Offers feature allows volunteers to make an offer of a skill, talent or time which will be promoted to organizations. Organizations interested in the volunteer offer can easily contact the volunteer through our website.

Offers by Volunteers is particularly helpful when prospective volunteers wish to offer their specific expertise but they may not be able to find a specific posted opportunity that matches with what they’d like to do. An example may be an offer for a musical performance or willingness to consult on marketing strategy. Conversely, organizations may not always promote an opportunity to get involved when they only require one person with a very specific skill set. Offers by Volunteers allows volunteers to promote their talent and time in a specific way to a wide variety of organizations.

Volunteers can offer their support virtually across Canada or within a geographic radius of where they live. Contact information for volunteers making an offer are available to all registered organizations logged into their account on Volunteer Success.

Volunteers looking to make an offer simply register or sign into their Volunteer Success account and then navigate to Make an Offer in their dashboard. Organizations interested in exploring offers by volunteers simply register or sign into their Volunteer Success account and navigate to Offers by Volunteers in their dashboard.

WHY ONLINE PETITIONS ARE CRUCIAL TO YOUR VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION

By: Aaron Viles

Putting on an awards gala, orchestrating a day-long river cleanup or coordinating a shelter adoption event are just a few examples of critical nonprofit work that relies on a lot of volunteers to be a success. Yet these marquee events, while high-profile and mission-critical, can be few and far between. This begs the question: What do you do with your army of volunteers in the meantime? Perhaps most importantly, how do you ensure that they’ll be ready and willing the next time you need their help? The good news is that there is an easy tool that both keeps your volunteers active with your mission and that helps you recruit new supporters: online petitions.

Why Volunteers Deserve Their Own Annual Report (And How to Write One)

By: Veronica Deally

What if I told you that my organization, the University Health Network, began a Corporate Engagement program to help our Cardiac Patients in their healing journey by making heart shaped pillows for patients? In its first year, we welcomed 10 corporate teams, a total of 161 corporate volunteers who donated 587 hours of their time and made 451 pillows? You would probably think that was interesting. But what if you read about it and saw the photos in our Volunteer Resources Annual Report. Now I bet I’ve got your attention!
