Session Description:
You offer your volunteers interesting one-off activities and possibly onboarding and training. Even with all this effort, do your volunteers feel part of a larger team with new and different opportunities to look forward to?
Come design journeys that enable your volunteers to contribute at different levels – giving time, knowledge, skills, and leadership. Together, we will start the process by creating your Volunteer Engagement Pyramid, a framework that lines up what is being asked of a volunteer (your need) with the mindset (the volunteer’s motivation) and ultimately helps increase retention and engagement.
Session Goals:
By the end of this session, participants will have learned how to:
- Be data-driven without losing the personal touch;
- Incorporate volunteer mindset into their volunteer programming;
- Create a Volunteer Engagement Pyramid using their existing volunteer data.
