How to Build a Successful Volunteer Program:

Essential Considerations Not to Be Overlooked

Best fulfill your mission by the avoiding pitfalls and 

maximizing the benefits associated with volunteers.

Volunteerism is a cornerstone of successful nonprofit management, and everyone agrees that volunteers are essential in assisting a nonprofit fulfill its mission. Yet experience shows that nonprofits often have difficultly recruiting qualified volunteers and also find it difficult to retain and productively utilize those that they do recruit. Why this happens may be more difficult to understand than it appears. Part of the answer may relate to a volunteer becoming disillusioned and not fully understanding what volunteering really involves and how the volunteer's efforts help the nonprofit satisfy its mission. Another part of the answer might also involve the nonprofit failing to do the required "homework." In other words, in its haste to begin delivering its programs, the nonprofit may not have paid enough attention to what is really involved in building a successful volunteer program. 

Can you answer these questions?

Do you have a clear vision of your mission that is easily communicated to your volunteers? 

Do you have a meaningful training program in place? 

Have you given enough thought to how employees and volunteers will interact with each other? 

Are you aware of the legal framework within which your volunteers will be working? 

These are just some of the questions that a successful volunteer program must answer. Not taking the time in advance to answer these and other questions may mean that your volunteer program is going to suffer from a continuous "revolving door" of coming and going volunteers, and your ability to focus on your mission may be undermined. 

Please join Lynn Ivey, an experienced nonprofit consultant and former nonprofit executive and volunteer, as she discusses the key elements that go into building a successful volunteer program and offers insights based on her own hands-on experiences both as a nonprofit executive as well as a volunteer.
