Workshop Details
Volunteers are NOT Free!: Building a Volunteer Program That Flourishes
April 20, 2010
The Foundation Center
9:30 AM—11:30 PM
Speaker(s):
Since April of last year, a combination of factors—the Serve America Act, The NYC Service initiative, and the economy—have yielded a significant increase in the number of nonprofit volunteers. What elements go into a charity’s decision to accept a volunteer, train that volunteer, and choose the right assignment for that volunteer? In other words, what are some of the ingredients of a successful volunteer program?
The panel will address how to:
- Realistically determine your volunteering needs
- Recruit volunteers—learn where to post opportunities and what groups to work with
- Assess potential volunteers
- Gracefully decline someone who seems inappropriate for your organization
- Get volunteers integrated into your organization
This workshop is a collaboration with Arts & Business Council of New York and The Foundation Center.
This event is free, but an R.S.V.P. is required. For more information, and to reserve your seat, please visit The Foundation Center website.
