Re=Energize Your Volunteer Program: Creating Mission-Driven Opportunities

This document discusses how to transition volunteer programs from being "nice to have" resources to being key components of an organization's success. It recommends focusing on volunteers' motivations rather than just thanking them, and including impact in recognition. Opportunities should be designed to create an emotional connection to the mission and emphasize outcomes over tasks. The organization should understand stakeholders' perspectives on volunteer value and share stories of volunteer impacts. Pilot programs can start small by learning what matters to volunteers and incorporating outcomes into role descriptions and conversations.

Storytelling in Volunteer Engagement

As leaders of volunteer engagement we want to share the impact volunteers have in our organization and in the community, but often the information we track doesn’t help us tell that story - The real story of volunteer engagement is so much more than the number of volunteers and hours served. In this workshop Jennifer will discuss gathering the right information to inform your story and the key components to good storytelling. She'll also share how to build support and buy-in for the work volunteers do through compelling storytelling, and how to engage other staff – paid and volunteer – in this work. During this workshop participants will be asked to explore how they tell the story of volunteer impact in their organization now, and through facilitated group discussion and brainstorming create a story that more accurately shares the work that volunteers do, identify what information could quantify or qualify the impact of that work, and leave with a worksheet and resources to begin telling and sharing that story.

SCLC Conference 2019 Beth Watts

The document discusses homelessness and temporary accommodation in Scotland. It summarizes that Scotland has largely adopted a rights-based framework for homelessness that focuses on temporary and permanent housing. However, different forms of temporary accommodation like B&Bs, hostels, and temporary furnished flats each have positives and negatives in terms of supporting people's well-being, autonomy, and social connections. The conclusion advocates for rapid access to settled housing and minimizing time spent in congregate or restrictive temporary accommodation when possible.

SCLC Conference 2019 - Carol Craig

This document discusses how children in Scotland may have historically experienced higher rates of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) than other Western European countries due to factors like alcoholism, domestic violence, child abuse, and emotional neglect. If true, this could help explain Scotland's high rates of looked-after children and poor outcomes for those in foster care. The document examines historical influences on child-rearing in Scotland like Calvinism and poverty. It argues that while awareness of ACEs and children's needs have improved, structural changes are still required to fully address the issues.

This document discusses supporting care leavers in Scotland. It summarizes the work of the Scottish Care Leavers Covenant to get organizations to endorse principles to better support care leavers.
