Volunteer recruitment, volunteer recognition and volunteer management ideas…

Hi All,

Here’s another volunteer management idea for you on…



MIXING WITH OTHERS FOR RECRUITMENT IDEAS

Most people mix with others of a like mind. Do you only discuss volunteers and volunteer recruitment with others who are also looking for volunteers? How about mixing with people who can give you ideas for recruiting in ways you may not have thought of before? It makes sense to seek out people in marketing, advertising, sales and media, as their livelihoods depend on attracting people to their businesses.

Volunteer management, volunteer recruitment and more volunteer recognition ideas for you…



Hi Everyone,

Last week I presented a challenge for you. Over the coming week ask all or a sample of your volunteers this question and record their answers. When you are “helping others” how does it really make you feel inside? (or something similar).



YOUR MOST POWERFUL VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT MATERIAL

Now what do you do their answers? Their answers are emotional triggers and extremely powerful testimonials. You need to put some of these answers in as direct quotes in your volunteer recruitment material (with their permission). Potential volunteers will absolutely read these quotes.



ADD REAL NAMES AND VOLUNTEER ROLES

But make sure to add the full name of each volunteer (with permission)and their volunteer role. For example, “Jane Jones who volunteers helping to …. (fill in the role)” Rather than just “Jane, A Volunteer”. It makes it more powerful, more believable and starts to educate potential volunteers on some of the roles they could undertake.

Volunteer management and an emotional volunteering question

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Volunteer recruitment, volunteer management and more volunteer recognition ideas…



Hi Everyone,

Previously we talked about benefits, emotional triggers and the top motivation for volunteering “helping others”. You can read it all on the previous volunteer management posts. To get you thinking about your volunteer recruitment material I asked you this question…

When your volunteers are “helping others” what really are some of the deep emotional benefits they receive?



THE BEST SUGGESTION TO GIVE YOU

But wait! Instead of you trying to answer this question, let’s focus on the volunteer’s viewpoint and look through their window. Here is my very best suggestion for you…ask your volunteers. Don’t assume their answers – ask them. You might change the question slightly to: When you are “helping others” how does it really make you feel inside? (or something similar).



A REAL CHALLENGE FOR YOU

So here is a challenge for you! Over the coming week ask all or a sample of your volunteers that question and record their answers. Then next week I’ll explain what to do with these powerful answers.
