Webinar: “Real” Best Practices for "Virtual" Volunteers (Virtual Volunteer Management Series)

Thursday, April 30, 2020 (2:00 PM - 3:00 PM) (EDT)

Description

More and more organizations have begun to rely on a blended workforce – with staff and volunteers working on-site and on-line – but, due to the coronavirus pandemic, engaging volunteers virtually may be the only way for many organizations to sustain their current volunteers and engage new volunteers in their mission. In this webinar, explore how to identify needs that can be addressed by virtual volunteers and gain tools and tips to adapt best practices in engagement to the virtual arena. Specifically, we will explore:

  • The evolving definition of virtual volunteers;
  • Screening and placing volunteers into virtual roles;
  • How to leverage – but not be held hostage by – technology;
  • Equipping volunteers for success; and
  • Holding virtual volunteers accountable.

At this challenging time, you can still engage volunteers while keeping them, your staff, and the community safe – and, by establishing systems now for virtual engagement, you’ll build your capacity to engage volunteers for years to come. Receive a virtual volunteer checklist to help assess roles and tools to support accountability.

This webinar is a part of the Virtual Volunteer Management Series. Participation in other webinars and offerings in the series is encouraged, but not required. 

Space is limited. Offered in partnership with Serve Kentucky
