The Volunteer toolkit is made up of everything you need to make sure that you are able to grow, maintain and motivate your volunteers. It includes: 

1. Intake Kit – This great tool includes our latest intake forms and our super popular Volunteer Strenghtfinder has just been updated and you get the new updates. These are super important in how you discover the strengths and areas of interest of you volunteers and match that information with where your organization needs support.  I’ve helped many nonprofits who had great resources but didn’t manage them efficiently.  In one instance an organization had a retired sales person who loved sales and would have been a great help in fundraising, development and donor support, but instead, he was given tasks to answer phone and to stuff envelopes? Hmmm... Which seems like a better use of a retired sales person’s volunteer time and a more efficient service to the organization- making calls with development or stuffing envelopes? That is why it is so important to have the proper intake information on your volunteers to know what skills, expertise and passions they have that can help your organization.  Our Intake Kit gives you great forms, to match your volunteers with your organization’s needs.

2. Marketing Kit – Another great resource included in your volunteer toolkit. We provide marketing tips to help you grow your volunteer support; including volunteer job descriptions and the best ways to attract highly qualified volunteers.  We also provide you with the little known resources to help you find free and low cost services provided by volunteers.

3. Communications Kit - This is the most valuable part of the Volunteer Tool kit as far as volunteer retention goes.  We give you templates to help you effectively communicate with your volunteers.  This includes templates for welcome letters, we miss you letters, award letters, just because and life letters (those follow-ups to births, deaths and other times in your volunteer’s life, that show that you care).  And, we also have the tough letters like the Need for improvement letter and reprimand letter.  These communications tools are so important in having a healthy volunteer force.  Many times, how we handle or don’t handle, one bad volunteer effects the rest of your volunteers.  One bad apple can spoil a bunch.  But, how you manage these situations is important, and we give you the basics to grow your confidence in these areas.

4. Meetings Kit – How you meet with your volunteers is also a major part of how they respond and represent you.  Having planned, organized, impactful and fun meetings helps to grow your retention rates and the effectiveness of your volunteer staff.  We give you great resources on the content for your meetings, the kinds of guests and speakers that you should have that will motivate your team, some fun activities to charge everyone up and also how to schedule your meetings to ensure an 80% or higher attendance rate. 

You get all of this in our Volunteer Toolkit. With this investment in your team and your organization, you will be able to gain, train and retain highly effective volunteers.
