Volunteer Managers

Attract more people and have more time by doing less recruitment!

Volunteer Managers

HAS THIS HAPPENED TO YOU?

  • LOW ATTRACTION AND RETENTION: Volunteers are not reliably showing up or returning for more shifts or events. You struggle to attract enough volunteers
  • VOLUNTEER TASKS: You experience that volunteers are not doing their tasks properly, no matter how easy you make the task
  • NOT ENOUGH TIME: You constantly struggle to have enough time to recruit and also prepare for the event. You find yourself reacting to situations rather than proactively planning.

If you find yourself nodding at any of these – you’re not alone, these are very common issues that can make your work more stressful, impact you personally and also impact your organisation achieving its outcomes.

How to overcome these challenges?

Volunteer management is a complex job and can sometimes feel overwhelming. Having managed hundreds of volunteer programs for large-scale events for many years, we fully understand the challenges volunteer managers face, and we have the solutions.

By working with us you will:

  • Do less recruitment while attracting more quality volunteers
  • Achieve higher attendance and retention rates
  • Have more time to focus on planning, rather than just reacting
  • Effectively communicate the value of volunteers within your organisation and achieve better outcomes for your organisation

Our IMPACTS Methodology draws on 7 years of experience in managing volunteer programs for public events, community festivals, conferences, charities, sporting events, councils and not for profit organisations

Stressed about finding enough volunteers?

The focus on numbers takes your focus from the ultimate goal of creating outstanding event experiences.

This changes your message to the market and the perception of your event brand.

This means your volunteer workforce can be your biggest risk when sacrificing the customer experience.

Instead of only planning for no shows, let’s PLAN for show ups and retention!

“The Volunteer Management Strategies training workshop was such a valuable 1 day course. It was a great opportunity to learn from the experience of an industry expert, as well as share ways of working, challenges, and triumphs with other volunteers’ coordinators. With a small group in the workshop, the day was tailored to the group’s needs and there was plenty of opportunity for discussion, ideas sharing, and brainstorming solutions to specific challenges we faced. There were so many takeaways – particularly new perspectives on common challenges, new or different ways of working, and fresh ideas. All content was relevant, relatable, and directly applicable to my work. I would definitely recommend taking this workshop as you’ll come away with a clear head and an energy to make positive change in your volunteers’ experience within your organisation.” Chloe Oastler, Events Volunteering Officer – Oxfam Trailwalker

“Thank you for your coaching session the other week – it was very useful and inspiring – a great way to connect without others in a different way.” Kate Valente – Volunteer Coordinator Officer Willoughby City Council

“Many thanks for conducting the coaching session. I personally gained a lot from it and I am sure others did too.” Mal Brown – Kaddy Disability Transport
