How to recruit & engage volunteers in older adult service programs
This is part 2 to the webinar on "Client recruitment." In this session, we'll talk about the other side of the equation for client programs: recruiting and managing the volunteers who serve your clients.
Volunteer recruitment has its own set of challenges for programs: balancing supply to have enough (but not too many, or too few!), screening volunteers for the right fit, keeping good volunteers engaged, and managing performance. Hear two different perspectives on recruiting an intergenerational and peer-to-peer volunteer workforce from Julie and Diane.
Topics discussed:
- Volunteer sourcing
- Marketing strategies
- Screening for the right fit
- Volunteer onboarding and training
- Volunteer engagement & retention
