Volunteer management

Overview

Volunteer management is key to driving an organisation’s growth by engaging leaders and board members of social service agencies (SSAs) to recognise the strategic value of volunteers. By highlighting the crucial role that volunteer managers play in advancing the organisation’s mission, this approach aims to secure the commitment of key decision-makers.

Through collaboration and shared understanding, SSAs can leverage effective volunteer management to create meaningful change, improve service delivery, and ultimately enhance the organisation’s overall impact.
