Editor's Notes

  1. Disclaimer: I am not a volunteer expert. I have been a volunteer for numerous organizations here and internationally and I have managed volunteers for GlobalGiving in the field…but my focus for this presentation will be on the ways that you can use GG to both recruit volunteers and build relationships with volunteers that have lasting benefits.
  2. It’s important not to have a narrow view of volunteers – often times I talk to organizations that think of volunteers as just high school students who can make copies, staple packets, etc. And while this is a certainly a viable option for volunteers, volunteers can be SO MUCH more! Highly qualified interns, professionals, etc. For fundraisers – this last item is crucial, volunteers can become future donors, can bring in future revenue
  3. Things to think about when recruiting volunteers: - diversity! You want people who are going to bring new insight, challenge you, give you ideas
  4. Write a description that is: Compelling – get people excited about this volunteer opportunity! Honest – at the same time, be honest. Don’t sugar coat anything. If people are going to be living in difficult circumstances, or doing a lot of photocopying, make that clear up front to avoid surprises Concise – people don’t like to read. So keep it short and sweet. Specific – tell people exactly what they’ll be doing, what your expectations are, the qualifications that they will need, the dates, the location (in the field, your office, or remote)
  5. Link for this is on page 4
  6. Has referred over 5 million volunteers in the past 10 years
  7. This is especially important for international volunteer opportunities
