The Practical Volunteering Handbook for Schools
One of the most common questions we get asked at CSPWA is how to attract more volunteers. There are many reasons why people do or don't volunteer, however the fact remains that they are an enormous asset to our school communities particularly in the area of 'friendraising'
Fundraising Directory has recently published the "Practical Volunteering Handbook for School and Club Volunteers" drawing on decades of experience and research to pull together everything you need to know about finding and keeping volunteers. The book is set out in chapters and covers a range of challenges that volunteers face, (which can then help you to think about strategies to overcome them), crucial aspects of volunteer recruitment and management, and practical tips and strategies to help you build a strong and dedicated volunteer base.
Topics include:
- Make It Fun
- Welcoming New Families
- Communication is Key
- Sense of Purpose
- Recruiting Volunteers
- Thanking Volunteers
- Volunteering Challenges
- Succession Planning
