ATTAIN

How Many Volunteers Search Only Online For Opportunities Around The World?

67% Seek Online

Reach them where they already are! A majority of volunteers now search for opportunities only on known Volunteer Portals, Social Media, and Google.

We work with you to fully capture your volunteer requirements, create attractive profiles on all major Portals, guide you on how to best frame volunteer requests, and ensure that all your Social Media accounts fully display your volunteer needs. This ensures that you receive the maximum number of applicants needed.

TRAIN

How Many Volunteers Prefer To Complete All Required Volunteer Orientations and Training Online?

73% Prefer It

Make the most out of their time with you! Volunteers must go through training but most organizations require them to attend that training in-person, which is NOT preferred by the volunteer.

We work with you to capture all of the information the volunteers need to know and create amazing training programs that can be shared with your volunteers prior to their start of service. This vastly increases your flexibility, quality control, scalability, and cost-savings.

MAINTAIN

How Many Volunteers Prefer Communication, Coordination, And Organization To Be Managed Online?

85% Prefer It

Keep it smart and simple! Volunteers have stated that organizing online makes communication easier and saves them time, while organizations have stated that it helps them get more volunteers for events and saves them costs.

We are fully aware of the key information volunteers want to know prior to starting their service for them to perform well. We work with you to create communication plans that your team can use to coordinate volunteers before and during their service.

RETAIN

How Many Volunteers Do Not Return For a Second Year Simply Due To A Lack Of An Adequate Follow-Up?

33% Never Return

Let them know you care! Most volunteers will not return simply due to bad, or even worse, no follow-up communication to thank them, ask them for feedback, and generally keep them engaged.

We prioritize retention most. Returning volunteers provide incredible cost-savings, making this key for any organization. We provide you with guidelines and templates on how to reach out to volunteers, perform key Impact Assessments, and keep volunteers engaged until their return.
