Volunteer management ideas and also volunteer recruitment and volunteer recognition ideas
Hi All,
Here’s a quick but powerful idea for you involved in volunteer management on…
GREAT VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION STRATEGY

This idea was sent in by Joy who heard it from another manager of volunteers at a meeting. Here goes…
Hi Judy,
How about our new Volunteer whose job it is buy individual gifts for each of our Volunteers (over 300). This means that they have a year to contact each volunteer and find out their special interests, buy a present and gift-wrap it, so we can give a personalized gift with a card.

GREAT VOLUNTEER RECOGNTION IDEA TO USE
Excellent volunteer management idea and a great way to customize the volunteer recognition gifts. Thanks Joy for sharing this one.
How would this work for you? It really is time to think about not doing it all yourself? Is there a volunteer or two just waiting to take on this role? What if they start with writing the Christmas cards and popping in a volunteer recognition quote magnet?
Cheers
JUDY

Hi Judy,
How much do they spend on each person?
Thanks

Hi Merle
You can decide on any amount that you want per volunteer. It would need to be something that the volunteer can work with. However, small amounts can be used to customize gifts in a very special and unique way for each person.
So experiment with the idea and how it would work for you.
Cheers
Judy
The idea is brilliant!!!
