Being successful at recruiting volunteers means being able to
describe how each volunteer job relates to your
organization’s mission. Volunteers are capable of great
contributions and achievements - especially when they know that
their efforts support goals they care about.
According to their abilities, interests and experiences,
volunteers can take on a wide variety of roles in an organization
– from positions of leadership to direct service. One key to
attracting and keeping good volunteers is the ability to connect
with a broad base of potential volunteers and to then match
interested candidates with roles that motivate and excite them.
Volunteer NH! offers a web-based volunteer matching tool called
Volunteer Solutions
to help link potential volunteers with non-profit organizations
recruiting for specific volunteer roles. Registering your
organization is easy and you can add and update your volunteer
opportunities at any time. Potential volunteers searching the
database view your opportunities and contact you directly via email
or phone for further information. If you would like to start
reaching a larger audience of potential volunteers online, please
post your volunteer opportunities by clicking here.
Voluntary action centers are
another great resource for help with volunteer recruitment. Staff
will work with to find volunteers who are a good match for your
opportunities and they can often provide some guidance and ideas
for your particular recruitment needs.
