Volunteer Management Resources

Education and Training: Having well trained and prepared volunteers and volunteer administrators is vital for sound volunteer programs. Volunteer NH! assists non-profits, state agencies, schools, faith based organizations and private business in getting the necessary training and education that will allow them to deliver service that meets the needs of their communities. This is accomplished through avenues such as but not limited to; the Annual Governor's Conference on Volunteerism, Statewide Regional Training, and the Annual Tri-State Conference for National Service programs

Volunteer Recruitment and Resource Management: Volunteer NH! uses technology to provide accurate information and to support volunteer placement and non-profit outreach through a web based matching system. Non-Profits register their organization and volunteer service needs while potential volunteers can search for the ideal opportunity either in their community, or by their interest, or both.

Statewide Volunteerism Awards: In 2003, Volunteer NH! established the Spirit of New Hampshire Awards a state-level recognition event to honor exemplary contributions to volunteerism. This annual event augments the many volunteer recognition events that occur in communities throughout the state each year. Spirit of New Hampshire Awards are presented to outstanding individual volunteers in the categories of youth, adult, senior, group and national service program. Awards are also given to exemplary supporters of volunteer programs businesses, non-profit organizations, educational institutions, faith-based groups, municipalities, service clubs and government agencies.
