Volunteer Recruitment Plan
Volunteer Recruitment Plan
Project details
What we need
- 3-5 one hour strategy sessions covering topics like potential volunteer market, timeline, strategies for outreach and recommendations for implementation (potential risks, possible management tools, etc.)
- A written summary of goals, target audiences and channels to prioritize
- A starter plan of recommendations & actionable next steps to begin executing your strategy.
Additional details
In addition to the deliverables listed above, I would like to focus on volunteer retainment. We are close to universities so the majority of our volunteers are only volunteering for class requirements and as soon as the semester ends they are no longer volunteering. We also run into the issue in the summertime that we're short on volunteers.
What we have in place
- We currently have a volunteer email list, volunteer application, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have descriptions of suggested volunteer roles, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,866 , allowing us to invest more money into our programming.
Retaining more volunteers with allow them to build better connections with our staff and clients, as well as help our staff be able to focus on more bigger picture issues.
