Event Description

Title
Take FIVE Training – The 5 Essential Steps to Focused Impactful Volunteer Engagement

Cohort Facilitator
Janet Capetty, Founder, Take FIVE Training

Does your organization utilize volunteers? Would it surprise you to learn that 1/3 of those who volunteer have such an unsatisfactory experience, they never return to volunteer. Another 1/3 have such a negative experience, they search for another organization for their involvement. This is frustrating not only to volunteers, but also to the organizations that wish to retain volunteer help. It doesn’t have to be that way.

This five-session interactive series will help you identify ways to further your mission through a robust volunteer program. We’ll cover recruitment, screening, retention, recognition, volunteers in a virtual setting, and even discuss how to handle those challenging volunteers. Learn how a successful volunteer program positively impacts your organization’s bottom line.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will be able to:

1. Understand motivations that matter to volunteers, assess needs and customize opportunities.
2. Gain complete understanding of the components needed for successful volunteer engagement.
3. Understand the connection between volunteers and fiscal benefits.
4. Each participant will begin a personalized action plan outlining priorities and steps to take to achieve greater volunteer engagement.
