FREE** VCTH Training: Retaining Volunteers
Wednesday 27 November 2024, 10.30pm – 1pm, free* on Zoom
Would you like your volunteers to stay on longer with your organisation? This practical and interactive Zoom session will look at good practice and provide tips on encouraging them to continue volunteering with your organisation. We will cover:
- Identifying volunteers’ motivations and how you can accommodate them
- Detecting key ‘pressure points’ at which a volunteer may leave and how to address the issues
- Think about progression routes for existing volunteers
- Adapting your volunteer induction, training and supervision processes to focus on retention
- Ensuring that volunteers and staff have realistic expectations
- Creating a ‘volunteer friendly’ culture
- Sharing ideas on types of reward and recognition
This session is suitable for experienced Volunteer Managers as well as those who are new to managing volunteers.
