Recruit volunteers
Good recruitment helps volunteers feel welcomed, informed and ready to contribute.
The Recruit stage of the Volunteer Involvement Cycle focuses on attracting, screening, selecting and onboarding volunteers.
Support volunteer teams
Volunteers are more likely to stay involved when they feel supported, connected and valued.
The Support stage of the Volunteer Involvement Cycle focuses on the day-to-day volunteer experience, including communication, training, mentoring and recognition.
Evaluate programs
The best volunteer programs continue to learn, improve and share the news.
The Evaluate stage of the Volunteer Involvement Cycle encourages organisations to regularly review volunteer programs, gather feedback and identify opportunities for improvement.
