VolunteerMatch Solutions BPN Webinar: Building a Flexible - and Sustainable -...VolunteerMatch
January 2012 Best Practice Network Webinar series, presented by VolunteerMatch
Session Description:
Employees want their companies to offer the chance to get involved in local communities. But a "set it and forget it" program won't be enough to keep employees engaged and enthusiastic over the long haul. Programs today must be approached more like business programs - ones that can flex with changing environments and circumstances.
The January VolunteerMatch Solutions Best Practice Network webinar session discussed how adopting a Change Model and being flexible can prepare your organization for the changing tides of volunteer engagement in the coming year.
Panelists:
Vicky Hush, VP of Client Relations and Strategic Partnerships, VolunteerMatch
Suzanne Osten, Director of the Office of Social Responsibility, UnitedHealth Group
Erin Dieterich, Manager of Corporate Relations & Strategic Partnerships, Discovery Communications

This document summarizes research on "Villages", which are membership-based community organizations that help older adults age in place. It finds that Villages provide services, build social support networks, and promote member empowerment. A survey of Villages found they predominantly serve white, female, homeowners living alone. Preliminary research on one Village program found it helped members feel less isolated and improve access to services. However, ensuring long-term sustainability, inclusiveness, and effectiveness remains a challenge for Villages. The author conducts further research to evaluate Villages and identify factors for success.
CHSC 431: Community Assessment
This Spring the students of CHSC 431: Community Assessment, a graduate-level core UIC School of Public Health class engaged in a collaborative learning experience with students and faculty at Pedro Albizu Campos Puerto Rican High School to conduct a community health assessment of Humboldt Park. The UIC SPH class of nearly 40 students broke into six groups of students to assess separate health areas identified by PACHS as important - gentrification/sense of belonging; issues of LGBTQ youth, physical activity, nutrition, young women's sexual/reproductive health, and health literacy/diabetes. Each group engaged in a mixed method
assessment modeling the assessment component of the Mobilizing Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) process typically carried out by local health departments. Each group had at least two members engaged in an ongoing community learning experience so as to better discern community perspectives with respect to their health topic. The learning experience ranged from to engaging/facilitating small group learning to facilitating a schoolwide survey to volunteer coaching of a youth sports club. Existing quantitative data on population demographics, health status and health behavior were analyzed in light of qualitative data from key informant interviews, participant observation or focus groups (debriefing groups) gathered from community engaged learning experience characterizing/contextualizing the health topic. Preliminary findings were discussed at Humboldt Park Library 4/21 and 4/28.
The survey received 1927 responses from parents in the Los Altos School District, representing 60% more responses than in 2010. The survey found that parents continue to be heavily influenced in their decision to move to Los Altos by the quality of the local schools. Regarding donations to the Los Altos Education Foundation (LAEF), parents expressed strong support but felt stretched by increasing fundraising demands. While committed to supporting education programs, some parents wanted more transparency in how funds are allocated and a broader base of community support. The survey provided feedback on specific programs to help LAEF and the district address parent concerns and priorities.
This document discusses trends in membership for associations and concerns about maintaining membership levels over the next 5 years. It notes that 44% of associations saw higher membership over the past 5 years but only 15% expect higher membership going forward. The biggest concerns about future membership include an aging membership and attracting youth. Charts show that the typical association membership age is shifting upwards. The document argues that associations need to focus on the customer value proposition by providing exclusive benefits that address specific needs and by reworking structures and strategies to enhance the membership value.
The survey analyzed the relationship between mental health outcomes and relationship status in over 8,000 gay and bisexual men. It found that single men reported higher rates of suicidal thoughts, loneliness, sadness, depression, and suicide attempts compared to partnered men. Partnered men had slightly higher rates of these mental health issues than men partnered with women. The results suggest that being in a relationship is associated with better mental health outcomes for gay and bisexual men.

This document discusses the benefits of parent-to-parent support for families with children who have special healthcare needs. It finds that most parents need information, emotional support, and education to feel equipped to meet their child's needs. Parents report learning from other parents, doctors, the internet, and service providers. Many parents feel isolated in their journey. The organization described, Family Connection of SC, aims to connect these families by providing a variety of parent-to-parent support services and resources.
This survey of over 900 donor relations professionals from a variety of nonprofit organizations in the US sought to understand the current state of the donor relations field. Key findings include: 61% worked in higher education, most organizations had small donor relations teams of 1-5 people, and acknowledgment turnaround times were typically less than 2 weeks. Many organizations produced annual reports and stewardship communications but few had comprehensive donor relations plans or strong metrics programs. The survey helps fill an important need for data on the donor relations profession.
Demographic & Economic Changes in Mecklenburg County, N.C.uipublicaffairs
Demographic changes in Mecklenburg County from 2000-2010 included population growth of 32.2%, aging of the population, increases in racial/ethnic minorities especially Hispanics, and shifts in family structure with declines in married couples and rises in single parents and unmarried partners.

Issues for the community include an increasingly segregated school system, gaps in public services, and health disparities. Emerging industries like energy provide opportunities for economic growth.
3 feist ifa feist- 477_intergenerational transfersifa2012_2
This document summarizes research on changing family structures and intergenerational transfers of time and money within families. As lifespans increase and fertility rates decline, populations are aging with fewer children to support older generations. The research examines the time and money older Australians provide to and receive from different generations, and finds that over 60% of those over 50 provide an average of 7 hours per week of practical support to family. This unpaid care work is valued at $36 billion annually, comparable to sectors like mining and retail. Factors like gender, income, and family type influence the amount of intergenerational support exchanged.
The document summarizes a presentation on using scientific methods to improve peer-to-peer fundraising. It discusses using research and experiments to understand problems with retention, online tool usage, and participant engagement. The presenters analyzed data from surveys and segmented participants to develop hypotheses. They tested hypotheses by targeting communications and found focusing on high-activity segments and giving participants permission to do more improved outcomes. The conclusion emphasizes looking for themes in research, re-examining ideas, and using an artistic approach to take risks and focus on mission.

opportunities to volunteer as part of a group, especially
among those who fell in the youth, family and employer-
supporter volunteer categories. The benefits of group
volunteering include the chance to engage in a social
activity and expand business networks.”

RECOMMENDATIONS
• “Find ways to make volunteering more family friendly and consider
each member of the family and their specific needs
• Be sensitive to gender, culture, language and age
• Introduce volunteer opportunities during retirement seminars
• Provide casual opportunities for potential volunteers so they can
test the waters before committing to an organization
• Assign economic value to volunteer activities; chart and calculate
volunteer time.
• Provide greater online engagement and virtual communication
options for volunteers
• Avoid excessive downloading of staff responsibility to
volunteers, and be aware of potential competitiveness and power
dynamics between them”

37. SHORT-TERM
VOLUNTEERING
• “Many organizations still want long-term commitment, but
many more volunteers are looking for shorter term
opportunities. Organizations are catching on, with a quarter of
them having reduced the minimum time commitment
requirement in the past 5 years - average now is 3-6 months”
• http://volunteer.ca/files/BTG-Final.pdf (page 5)
• From the 2007 CSGVP highlights report, we found that the
number one reason that people did not volunteer more was
insufficient time and the number two was that they were unable
to make a long-term commitment.
