4 Secrets to Successful Volunteer Management for Nonprofits

Nonprofit organizations are usually forced to run lean enterprises where employees fill more than one role. As such, people supporting your organization, be it externally or internally, are extremely valuable, and they all impact your group in different ways. One group that often is not given as much consideration are volunteers. However, they are the backbone of all your work, so managing them in an efficient way should not be neglected. Similarly to development of relationships with your donor base, same should be done with this group.

Key Takeaways:

• Use volunteer management software to help with organization as well as recruiting and training. There are many different volunteer management apps available.
• Make it easy for people to register on your website. Also ask volunteers what they would like to do, so you can help guide them towards volunteer work they may excel in.
• Make sure that you give your volunteers shout outs on social media to show that you appreciate all of the work they are doing, as this builds camaraderie.
