June 27, 2022In a conversation with Camara Chambers, the former ED of Volunteer Toronto, we cover how to think about your volunteer program, how to onboard your volunteers, and then how to manage and maintain them so that you are really leveraging their goodwill and supporting your organization.
July 21, 2022How many of us have faced this scenario: someone walks through the doors of your organization, unsolicited, and expresses interest in getting involved with your cause. They haven’t responded to a specific posting and it is clear that they have skills to offer. What do you do? Do you have a process in place to determine if and where there is a fit for their passion and skill-set? Vantage Point called this scenario reactive volunteer engagement and came up with a proactive tool to help organizations take advantage of these unsolicited but potentially valuable “knowledge philanthropists”.
December 22, 2022Strategic planning for volunteer programs is a key process to get ahead of change and flux in our communities. It is a plan that helps to create objectives, goals, and strategies that drive growth and responds to community needs. In uncertain times, people are constantly moving in and out, mandates are shifting, budgets are changing, stakeholder needs and expectations are shifting, and priorities are being re-evaluated. A solid strategic plan will help guide your volunteer program for success.
