Are you Frustrating your Volunteers?

Here are 8 Ways to Recruit and Retain Volunteers for your Nonprofit.

Volunteers can provide help, support, and manpower for nonprofits. However, does your nonprofit have the necessary processes in place to take full of advantage of your volunteers?

Many nonprofits I have come across understand the importance of volunteers and even WANT more volunteers, but unfortunately are not organized enough to really utilize volunteers well for their nonprofits.

You may be confusing and even frustrating your volunteers if you relate to one of the following:
• After a volunteer starts, you realize it is more work for you to organize yourself to give the volunteer tasks to complete
• There never seems to be enough work for the volunteer, but you seem to be still as busy as ever
• Your volunteers do not stick around for long
• You never provide appreciation days or incentives for your volunteers
• You do not include your volunteers as part of your nonprofit morale or culture
• You have no idea where all the volunteer forms are
• You want to get a bunch of grant money, but you have nothing in place to mobilize volunteers

I get it. You might be a small or start-up nonprofit and your limited staff are wearing ten hats each as it is. But if you want to grow, then it is important to take the time to get organized and prepared for people to help you.
