Fact Sheet: Working with Volunteers Volunteers provide the backbone to many non-profit organizations. Issues that must be considered when taking on volunteers include: Recruitment Typically, people decide to volunteer for an organization because they want to contribute to a good cause, they want to develop new skills, and/or they want to make new friends. Keep these reasons in mind when developing your recruitment announcements. Look to schools, other voluntary organizations, community centers, the local media, religious centers, libraries and clubs as places to recruit. Training All new volunteers will require not only basic training in how to meet their responsibilities, but also an overview of your organization's mission, values and daily work routine. In order for volunteers to remain interested in their work, it is also important to provide them with ongoing opportunities to learn. Boundaries Where a volunteer's responsibilities begin and end must be clearly delineated; otherwise, conflicts between volunteers and paid staff can arise. Just like paid workers, every volunteer should have a written job description.

Resources - Working with Volunteers Most King Day projects rely on volunteers from the community to achieve their goals. How you manage your volunteers will play a large role in determining whether your project succeeds - and whether your organization will be able to build long-term relationships with a new group of volunteers. Here are some tips for managing volunteers effectively: Recruit early Sign up volunteers in advance of your event so you can get a good sense of the scope of your project and the kinds of support staff, equipment, food, and other materials you will need. Contact the media ( Sample Media Advisory ), distribute fliers, and reach out to partners and other local institutions as part of your recruitment effort. Seek out diversity Try to attract as large and varied a group of volunteers as possible. Youths, senior citizens and people of all races, religions, and ethnic backgrounds ideally should be part of the mix. A diverse group will best reflect the spirit of Dr. King. Collect contact information Have potential volunteers fill out a basic sign-up sheet that includes their name, address, phone number(s), e-mail address, and any special skills they may have. Be sure to send out reminders to your volunteers about a week before the project. The quickest, easiest, and least expensive way is via e-mail; use a phone tree or get volunteers to make calls to those without e-mail.

Cooperative planning can recognise and avoid problems, so it is important to take the time to talk it through. Partnerships work best when there is respect between the partners. Volunteering Volunteers need to know what they are expected to do, when and where. All organisations need to recognise volunteers’ rights and to respect their needs and abilities. Schools also need to recognise that most volunteers have no experience of the way a school works, and may also be nervous about meeting with large numbers of students. Some points to address:

Why Schools Need Volunteers Working With Volunteers Steps to Success Contact AppleCorps Why Schools Need Volunteers. . . Inside every school there is a team of teachers, principals, and support staff dedicated to the education of our children. There is also another group that makes a valuable contribution to education volunteers. Every teacher wishes he or she had more time to give to each pupil - to listen and respond, to give individualized instruction, to meet the unique needs of each student. School volunteers make this wish come true. Schools need volunteers to support and enrich the lives of students by: Building self-esteem and self-confidence Motivating children to learn Giving students extra changes for success Bringing enthusiasm and encouragement for academic pursuits Enhancing a positive learning environment Giving students instant feedback Adding another "adult friend" to student's experience Serving as role models Bridging between classroom and community Becoming an advocate for students and teachers Introducing volunteerism to children Indicating to student and teacher that the community cares Return to Top Working With Your Volunteers Helpful Checklist. . .

51. Fundraising Ideas That Work For Grassroots Groups - 3 working with volunteers. Setting up the Task Force. How long a commitment will you demand? Will you be able to work shortterm volunteers into your program? http://www.pch.gc.ca/progs/pc-cp/pubs/e/Fr4gras3.htm

Chapter Working with Volunteers Setting up the Task Force Any organization that hopes to succeed in raising money needs a Fundraising Committee or Task Force with a mandate of responsibility for fundraising. The traditional model calls for all board members to take an active role in fundraising. This model seldom applies to grassroots groups. For example, in many organizations, the board is unwilling or unable to do fundraising. In an umbrella group, the board members may be representatives of other levels of the group, and feel their first loyalty is to their home branch. If board members are consumers of your group's services they may have no interest or experience in fundraising. Board members may also be appointed by funders, or brought in for other expertise. Even when the board is willing and able to fundraise, they typically have too many other responsibilities. do the work, not just talk about it. Membership in the Fundraising Task Force (or whatever you choose to call it) group should imply taking an active role. The people on the central Task Force should all be leaders of sub-groups, and have the necessary teams of people to carry out the work.

52. Using Instant Messaging To Work With Volunteers: Benefits And Suggestions programme, posted requests for information on various online discussion groups for people to share their experiences regarding IM in working with volunteers. http://www.unites.org/html/resource/im/im0.htm

RESOURCE CENTER My UNITeS FAQs ICT Success Stories ... Home Using Instant Messaging to Work With Volunteers: Benefits and Suggestions By Jayne Cravens of the E-Volunteering Unit at United Nations Volunteers Version: November 2002 Volunteer managers already have phones and email to work with offsite volunteers. What is the advantage of using Instant Messaging (IM) with these volunteers as well? UNITeS , a global Information and Communications Technology (ICT) volunteering initiative managed by the United Nations Volunteers programme , posted requests for information on various online discussion groups for people to share their experiences regarding IM in working with volunteers. Based on their feedback, as well the experience of UNITeS staff and selected documents , this article has been prepared to help illustrate the advantages for using IM to work with volunteers. Please note that, when we say "IM" in this article, we mean a text-only exchange among two or more people that is via computer and the Internet, is private, and is live. IM is very similar to "chat." Both are synchronous communications, meaning users communicate with each other at exactly the same time. IM is generally used by just two people at once, however, and is private. A chat usually takes place in a virtual "room" online, often via a web site, and usually involves more than two people.
