Volunteerism has changed and its rocking the association world. Explore the questions, the trends, and the how-to's for engaging members in volunteering for your association.
This document provides a 10-step checklist for developing an energetic volunteer force for an organization. The steps include 1) committing to volunteer engagement in strategic plans and objectives, 2) mapping out volunteer opportunities with pathways and matrices, 3) creating a plan with clear goals, 4) developing job descriptions, 5) recruiting volunteer talent scouts, 6) offering various position types, 7) recognizing and rewarding volunteers, 8) measuring outcomes, 9) designating volunteer leadership, and 10) adapting to changing volunteer preferences. The overall goal is to effectively engage and retain volunteers to further the organization's mission.
The document discusses characteristics and recruitment of volunteers. It notes that today's volunteers are often interested in career development and constrained by time. They can be found through personal connections, existing relationships, and other volunteers. It is important to clearly define volunteer tasks and roles, set measurable goals, provide training and feedback, and recognize efforts and results. An example volunteer program from ISOC Bangalore aims to empower youth through computer and internet education.
This document discusses building engagement through volunteerism. It notes that volunteers today want flexibility and short term opportunities that allow them to contribute their skills. Associations need to offer a variety of volunteer roles and embrace technologies that enable micro-volunteering. Conducting surveys of members and volunteers can provide insights into how to structure opportunities to attract and retain participants. The focus should be on outcomes rather than direction, and engaging members as citizens of the organization.
This document discusses how associations can use components like geographic chapters, special interest groups, and virtual communities to drive member engagement. It recommends that associations understand members' key interests in issues, disciplines, or geography and create both formal and informal opportunities within components tailored to those drivers. Associations should also assist components with expertise, tools, and training and celebrate their successes to recognize and reward member participation.
This document provides strategies for creating an exceptional member experience for an organization. It discusses talking about membership in terms of outcomes members receive, getting members involved from day one, building an adhocracy, using web tools to engage members, listening to members through surveys and calls, trying new things constantly, and activating word-of-mouth sharing. Specific tactics described include personal outreach, online collaboration tools, evaluating events, polling members, discussing ideas, blogging, and social media sharing. The overall goal is to better connect members and get them involved through various engagement strategies.
Volunteering and joining associations are decisions driven by values, meaning, and affiliation. In today's people-driven economy powered by social media and collaboration, member-led and decentralized organizations that focus on co-creation and net promoter scores are designing their future. The science of association is always evolving to remain relevant.
Peggy Hoffman presented on creating an exceptional volunteer experience. She recommends finding meaningful volunteer opportunities that are important to volunteers and accessible. It is important to get volunteers involved from day one, build flexible volunteer structures, and constantly try new things. She also suggests using social media, listening to volunteers, and activating word-of-mouth to engage volunteers.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Editor's Notes
Here’s the problem – the old model doesn’t fit!
• It ignores the reality of generational differences.
• It handcuffs organizational decision-making.
• It limits opportunities for involvement.
• It ignores the time/flexibility needs.
Will quickly speak to our department’s structure, fact that we have other staff who are responsible for volunteer management.
Will speak to the fact that we’re able to have staff assigned and many resources because of PMI’s commitment to volunteerism. Core value added in 2011.
State that PMI’s volunteer engagement model is based on a foundation of the relationships we have with our volunteers. Volunteers are also members, credential holders, donors, advocates, etc. Everyone is responsible for interaction with volunteers.
Breakdown of 8-10K volunteers globally.
Breakdown of three categories of those serve on behalf of PMI globally
Recruitment tool: VRMS. All global PMI roles are recruited through VRMS so they can be tracked, volunteers can be recognized, etc. Global chapters are encouraged to use the system.

Animations to walk through the volunteer profile
Usage of system since launch in 2012. 60,000 people have updated profiles manually, indicating an interest in volunteers. Survey of sample shows they’re interested in all types of volunteering, long-term, short-term, in person, virtual, etc. We work with staff to find ways to get people engaged since there is so much interest.
