Description

Leveraging Required Service Volunteers
the eigth webinar recording in KNN's Volunteer Management Initiative 9-part series

More and more, volunteers want days of service (one-and-done events) while others seek to fulfill community service requirements. For volunteer engagement professionals, these trends can seem challenging, but they also present opportunities. In this webinar, we’ll explore the growing trends in episodic volunteer, consider how to design appropriate roles for short-term volunteers, and provide tips and strategies to make the most of days of service by transforming episodic volunteers into ongoing volunteers.

Session Outline:
• Define “required service” volunteers (corporate, student community service, and potentially Medicaid)
• How to screen and vet required service volunteers
• Tips and strategies to transform episodic volunteers to ongoing volunteers (Structure the day, link to ongoing opportunities, etc.)

Downloadable Resource(s) Included:
• Transforming Days of Service into Ongoing Engagement
