June 15, 2022As the Covid-19 Pandemic creates havoc over all our lives and we are looking at ways to navigate and plan for the “new normal” I think it is important to consider the value and return on investment of a professional administrator of volunteers to help you bridge from now to the future.
February 07, 2022Certainly, volunteers bring tremendous value to nonprofit organizations by contributing in many capacities. You may have firsthand experience with the impact volunteers can make. They might help with in-person or virtual events, facilitate fundraising, promote advocacy, partake in programs and service delivery, or be involved on a leadership board — to name a few. It’s important to keep in mind that with each type of volunteering, there is a necessary process for properly vetting volunteers as you onboard them.
July 22, 2022I recently googled “Volunteer” on Google images and got 972,000,000 pictures. The first two pages of images, since I didn’t look at all 972 million, displayed 30 images, and 11 (just over 1/3) of those pictures were like the ones below. The following graphics are used by many organizations to promote their volunteer opportunities. When you click on the image, you are linked through to the website of the organization that is trying to recruit volunteers. As I looked at many appeals for volunteers, I asked, “What is wrong with this picture?” The answer? Twenty-first century volunteers do not want to raise their hands.
