Volunteer Development and Management
Every volunteer brings their own expectations to their new role. Without clear roles, goals, expectations, and operating guidelines, volunteers and volunteer boards can be counter-productive. Other times, volunteers can become complacent and are perfectly fine working with the status quo. Our volunteer management consulting services are designed to create or, if necessary, revive volunteers in support of your organizational mission, vision, and values.
