Volunteer Management
Volunteers are vital to a non-profit. Not only can they provide additional “staff”, they also “bring the community into the nonprofit, and bring the nonprofit into the community.”
Volunteers interact with a number of groups in the broader community. These contacts can be used to help your organization in a number of ways; fundraising, donations, and additional volunteers to help “staff” your agency.
