The Disruptive Volunteer Manager by Meridian Swift Pdf

Volunteer management is stuck in a decades old paradigm. It doesn't work for today's volunteers. In The Disruptive Volunteer Manager, blogger Meridian Swift lays out 6 steps to modernizing volunteer management. By following the steps, today's volunteer managers will position themselves as leaders of a movement to elevate volunteers and volunteer contributions. Each step equips a volunteer manager with the tools to attract and sustain modern volunteers while increasing respect and demand for volunteer involvement. Just a few of the many questions Swift answers are: How is volunteer synergy formed? Where do balanced volunteer projects fall on the tasks priority list? Are volunteers human capital, assets or a product? Should we worry about a volunteer block chain? How do we stop the volunteer talent churn? What is volunteer role scalability? Disrupting volunteer management means positioning for the future of volunteer engagement and breaking the bonds of an outdated system to become an effective leader. With 6 steps to reframe volunteer management, The Disruptive Volunteer Manager illustrates the path to a better way.

Volunteer Management for Non-Profit Organizations by Bryan Yeager Pdf

Volunteering time to benefit others is one of life's greatest rewards. With the help of a small but incredible team, we recruited and managed volunteers who helped in over sixty events that were filled to capacity in some of the largest football stadiums and arenas in North America. One of these events was held in Washington D.C., and it had over one million men in attendance. To successfully conduct these events literally required tens of thousands of volunteers. Through the years, our team learned the right ways and sometimes painfully, the wrong ways of recruiting and managing volunteers. This book explores the key elements of managing volunteers, not only for events but also for the everyday volunteer assignments within non-profit organizations and condenses practical volunteer management principles into this 100-page book.

Challenges in Volunteer Management by Matthew Liao-Troth Pdf

Volunteer management has many challenges, not the least of which is how we study it and view it. Academics examine it from a variety of disciplines and practitioners experience it in a variety of contexts. However both approaches have limitations. In academia we go to public administration schools to learn about public and nonprofit management, to business schools to apply the principles of private enterprise to nonprofit management, to sociology departments to study the phenomena of volunteerism, to psychology departments to understand the motives of volunteers, and economics departments to examine the value or economic worth of volunteerism. The liability of the academic approach is the segmentation of study and research into departmental areas. The study of volunteers and volunteerism needs to cross all of these organizational and discipline boundaries to be fully appreciated and understood as a field of interest. In contrast, practitioners view volunteer management from their own unique experiences. They try to gauge success in volunteer management based on what they have encountered in particular organizations, towns, cultures, and countries in which they work. As important as these insights are, they are difficult to generalize beyond local settings. Just because an individual has been successful in working with volunteers, it does not mean that the lessons learned in one situation can be translated to others under all conditions. The target audience for this volume is anyone who manages volunteers. The goal of the volume is to demonstrate the breadth of thought on volunteer management, both across disciplines and a wide range of settings in which volunteers work.

Recruiting and Managing Volunteers in Museums by Kristy Van Hoven,Loni Wellman Pdf

We are in the middle of a museum paradigm shift and a new type of museum volunteer is emerging from the community. Non-profit volunteers are looking for unique and satisfying ways to engage in their communities and museums are primed to offer just the experiences these volunteers are looking for. Here’s a practical exploration of the differences between the “then” and “now” volunteers and solid advice on volunteer recruitment, communication, and retention strategies. Kristy Van Hoven and Loni Wellman will help you answer the questions: What are new volunteers looking for? What is their motivation? How can you spot the hidden gems in your local community? How can you develop a successful relationship with potential volunteers? How do you keep the museum volunteer motivated and happy? What can teens, adults and retiring professionals bring to your organization? How can your museum support a robust and active volunteer program? How do you reward volunteers and keep them for the long term? and, most importantly, How can you meet volunteer’s needs and still benefit from their work? The Guide highlights successful projects, incentives, and general museum culture which support volunteer activities and includes examples of Volunteer Job Descriptions, Calls for Volunteers, Evaluation forms, as well as volunteer project outlines. Written in a light hearted spirit, Recruiting and Managing Volunteers in Museums: A Handbook to Volunteer Management will engage and inform any professional tasked with developing and managing a volunteer program at their institution. Museums offer an amazing array of volunteer opportunities that help create a greater sense of belonging and purpose for the volunteer. With a growing number of retiring professionals and students looking for professional experiences, now is the time to embark on developing a volunteer program that will thrive in the years to come.
