Nonprofits, government agencies, schools and associations all
seek to create a feeling of community that inspires action.
If your organization can successfully build long-term
relationships with volunteers, you have a higher chance of
retaining members and keeping them involved. This week,
Sarah Hemminger, joined Driving Participation to discuss volunteer
engagement. Sara is CEO and co-founder of Thread, an organization
committed to improving  the academic advancement and personal
growth of underperforming high school students. In the process,
Thread weaves a social fabric, creating a community of students,
university and community-based volunteers, and collaborators.
