Satisfied volunteers are vital to achieving your mission. Volunteers can change lives through their work with your clients and can bring tremendous expertise to your organizations in many ways through marketing, fund-raising, membership development, community outreach, special events, and program support. Unfortunately, ineffective volunteer recruitment and poor volunteer management can actually sap your nonprofit's valuable time and energy.

  • Understanding Volunteering
  • Planning a Volunteer Program
  • Recruiting and Placing Volunteers
  • Orienting and Training Volunteers
  • Supervising Volunteers
  • Recognizing Volunteers
  • Managing Risk
  • Positioning the Profession
