July 27, 2021Much has changed in the twelve months since the pandemic was declared in the United States. Many organizations have ceased or greatly reduced volunteering, others, such as those pertaining to crucial services like food delivery, have seen steady or increased engagement due to a rise in demand.
December 21, 20212021 is rapidly coming to an end, and now is the time to start considering where we want to see the industry go in 2022. Many of the 2021 industry trends focused on technology. We continue to exist in a post-COVID world, connecting over virtual conferences and working in hybrid remote/in-person models. Many organizations and corporations have realized that a remote model is achievable, and by embracing technology, we can find new and more accessible ways to work. As we head into 2022, we look ahead at some key trends to build and strengthen relationships with donors, volunteers, stakeholders and staff.
July 21, 2022Getting someone to volunteer is like the dating process–getting to know each other and finally asking the commitment question. In recruiting we are not asking for marriage. We are asking for a date–a date to demonstrate the value of our organization, our cause, our mission and the opportunity to make a difference. Each date is filled with opportunities for exchange, questions, and feedback. The goal of the future dates is to tell volunteers that you’d like their help. Now that they’ve had a taste, it’s okay to present your need.
