Volunteer management consulting and training for not-for-profits to build reliable, enthusiastic and committed volunteer teams.
An effective volunteer program is key to not-for-profits having an impact in their communities.
One of the biggest challenges not-for-profit organizations face is the lack of engagement in volunteer programs. Organizations are finding it more and more difficult to find committed, reliable volunteers.
Many agencies don’t have the time, resources or expertise to effectively recruit and engage an efficient volunteer team. They are often left working with a mediocre team, resulting in mediocre results.
Studies have proven that when nonprofits invest in their volunteer leaders and their volunteers they have a greater impact in their communities.
