Hi again Phyllis
I used to send letters to the Local newspapers editor about national volunteer week which happens to be in April but you could use this format to ask them to help you get volunteers for your organization
National Volunteer Week is ā¦
[ORGANIZATION NAME] Announces Recognition Plans
Local Volunteers Encouraged to Celebrate Service During National
Volunteer Week
[CITY/STATE, MONTH DAY, YEAR ORGANIZATION NAME, ORGANIZATION
DESCRIPTION], today announced plans to celebrate National Volunteer Week, a time dedicated to demonstrating to the nation that by working together, we have the fortitude to meet our challenges and accomplish our goals.
ooh this has been on my mind too, I'd love to hear what people have to say :)
Hi, Phyllis,
I focuse on the activity that resident(s) is willing to do, not so much volunteer wants to do. For example, if one resident expressed wanting to play the chess game, I will advertise for that purpose. Chess is a time consuming and only two people's game - therefore it is very good if you can find a good chess player. Code of ethics, policy & procedures, WHS, trainings, etc are the same as paid staff regardless the activities.
Hi Satomi
Thank you for your input
