Join us to discuss recruitment, training and retention strategies to help you attract and retain “today’s” volunteer as well as find out what it means to "modernize" your program. We will review current volunteer demographics, why volunteers serve, what volunteers want from their experience and how to best utilize their time, skills and expertise.
Your colleagues from three LTCO programs will share their experience regarding a variety of volunteer management practices that help them recruit, train and retain volunteers, including the following:
- The value of assessing your program and volunteer satisfaction surveys;
- Successful recruitment using traditional approaches and free, online resources;
- Working with volunteers that are employed full-time;
- How to match a volunteer’s skills, knowledge and experience with their role and responsibilities; and
- Creative uses of technology to enhance training and communication.
