Rethinking Volunteer Recruitment
Attracting volunteers has been identified as a core challenge for many Volunteer-Involving Organisations, especially with the changes imposed by COVID-19. This session will help you“think outside the box” to grow your volunteer workforce, bring in a new range of skills and improve volunteer retention.

Addressing Volunteer Motivations through Virtual Volunteering
If COVID has taught us one thing, it’s that traditional volunteer program design has left us open to disruption, and that these programs do not work for everyone. We will explore how you can meet volunteer motivations by introducing Virtual Volunteering into your volunteer programs.
21 July 12:30pm
Embracing Youth Volunteering
With volunteer programs constantly evolving and many experienced volunteers stepping down, it is time to embrace the next generation of volunteers. In this session we will explore what embracing youth volunteering involves, look at potential challenges, and discuss considerations for adapting your volunteer programs.
