Volunteer Engagement and Retention: Building a Dedicated Support System


Listen Later

In this week’s episode of The InspirED Podcast, we’re focusing on the business of volunteers– what they are worth, how to motivate them, and where to find them. Since 2020, nonprofits across the board have largely struggled to recover their previous volume of volunteers. We share important national statistics to help identify the root cause of issues surrounding volunteer engagement and retention while exploring actionable steps and targeted tools that can help organizations build (or rebuild) a thriving volunteer program. 

Let’s talk about some effective ways to recruit volunteers, how volunteer engagement leads to organizational success, and how to retain them. If you or someone you know is involved in a school or non-profit organization that struggles to leverage volunteers, we hope some of our insights today will help!

Kandula partners with nonprofits whose mission is to improve their reputation in the community, build stronger partnerships, find new funding sources and increase advocacy. Learn more about our services at https://kandulacommunications.com/non-profits/.
