May 05, 2021Our community pool of volunteers is there for us to nurture, engage and incubate.

We put the volunteers’ needs on an even par with organizational needs which creates a symbiotic system that not only sustains volunteers, but creates a replenished garden.
Sector Monitor: The uneven impact of the pandemic on Canadian charities Mirroring what is observed in the economy as a whole, the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the charitable sector unevenly. Over a year since the beginning of the crisis, more than half of charities continue to struggle while others are doing better. From drastic revenue declines to demand surpassing capacity, the situation is still precarious for many organizations, which could have an important impact on the communities they serve.

June 09, 2022Have we made much headway in the past few years? Is this because we spend most of our time focusing on the volunteer management cycle instead of change management or planning practices. The volunteer management cycle is a core component to building and managing a volunteer program but it is focused on activities and process. What I am talking about is more about “you” the person who is charged with overseeing the program. We need to start shifting our thinking as leaders and how the volunteer program can integrate itself into an organizations strategic plan, and as a leader of volunteers, your ability to sell it to your senior leadership team.
