SUMMARY:Communicating Your Philanthropy to Attract and Recruit More Volunteers
DESCRIPTION:Volunteer recruitment is crucial to many aspects of nonprofit operations. To garner this crucial support for your organization\, you must implement creative recruitment strategies and uplift your mission that encourages the community to serve others. Nikki Eliason\, volunteer manager for Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast & Louisiana and life-long volunteer presents on how to inspire a connection to your cause and share that passion with others to expand your organization’s reach. \n\nAbout the Speaker\n  \n \nNikki Eliason\nAs a transplant to Texas in 2008 from central Indiana\, I found myself longing to join the Houston community. I naturally gravitated toward meaningful engagement that was familiar to me as a previous volunteer with Make-A-Wish in my hometown and attended wish granter volunteer training in 2009. Little did I know that I would soon have the opportunity to take on a full-time staff position\, and 14 years later have the joy of continuing to serve and learn in new ways each day while sharing in the transformational power of a wish. I’m an active wish-granting volunteer\, have served in staff roles within our mission delivery\, fundraising and development teams\, and now serve as Volunteer Manager. I truly believe that wishes are not just nice but necessary. For a wish child\, the opportunity to step outside of their current limitations and experience the hope\, strength\, and joy that only a wish can provide is integral to their journey of battling a critical illness. \n

SUMMARY:Best Practices for Engaging Volunteers\, Part 1: Build a Strong Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers show up with a variety of skills and interests and it’s your job to know how to best engage with them. Do you feel like you have the necessary information to equip them to do their job well? If you don’t understand what needs to be communicated\, how can you expect volunteers to know and understand the expectations? \nJoin us on Tuesday\, March 14 from 9:00 am-10:30 am for an ACAM online workshop – the first of two parts on Best Practices for Engaging Volunteers. Melissa Everhart\, Director of Education and Engagement for the Indiana Alliance of YMCA\, will lead a lively session and guide participants to learn about keys to building a strong foundation for engaging volunteers\, including defining volunteer skillsets needed and identifying expectations. You’ll want to add these Best Practices for Engaging Volunteers to your Volunteer Management toolkit.
