Developing Strategic Volunteer Roles
the second webinar recording in KNN's Volunteer Management Initiative 9-part series 

Designing strategic volunteer roles means crafting opportunities that leverage volunteer interests while also addressing real organizational needs. Conducting a needs assessment with others in the organization is one way to develop new, strategic roles while crafting comprehensive descriptions is important even for existing roles as they help to assess whether the role is, in fact strategic, and provides the foundation for recruiting, screening, accountability, and even recognition.
