501 Commons: Life Cycle of Volunteer Engagement Series

For a busy nonprofit professional, effectively managing volunteers can seem challenging– even daunting – but with a little time and intention, you can become highly effective at engaging volunteers. This webinar series (happening in April and June, and August) guides you through the critical components of setting a volunteer program up for success. This workshop is designed for volunteer managers with less than two years of experience or those looking to refresh or increase their understanding of the basics. Attend one session for a mini boost or all three for maximum impact.

Session 2: Effective Volunteer Recruitment
