Volunteers are our best resource!
Volunteers are not paid - not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless." ~ anonymous
Volunteers are our best resource for our non profit activities. Here we provide volunteer management and volunteer recognition ideas to assist you. Who are these people?
Well, by definition, a "volunteer" does their job by choice, without monetary reward, and for the benefit of the community. (Of course, without monetary reward doesn't exclude payment for out-of pocket expenses which are really a reimbursement for actual costs rather than a reward.) Volunteer Management
For any organization to maximize the use of this great resource while providing a truly rewarding and satisfying experience for them, volunteers should be considered and managed similar to employees. As such, there are many things to be taken into consideration. We've put together some resources and strategies for you. As a governance best practice, your non profit should regularly incorporate an evaluation of the board of directors. Board Evaluations achieve a number of important things: personal and group motivation, reflection of achievements, and assessment of areas where more focus or training of board members will benefit the entire organization.Sample Volunteer Job DescriptionsOffice Assistant Volunteer Job DescriptionAuction and Raffle Chair Job Description
