Volunteer programs from the heart.
An exemplary volunteer program comes from the heart. You can develop paperwork and computer programs for your volunteer program. You can arrange recruitment, training, recognition and reward. Behind all of this, though, there has to be heart. Your program will succeed fully only if volunteer managers – the coordinator and other staff – welcome and encourage their volunteers ~ from the heart.
Volunteer Management Coach offers affordable coaching and resources for volunteer management in non-profit agencies.
I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve. ~ Albert Schweitzer
Does Your Organization Depend On Volunteers?
If the answer is yes, you're in good company. More than 100 million Americans donate more than 19 billion hours in volunteer labor each year, an economic equivalent of more than $150 billion. Volunteers come from all age groups, educational backgrounds, income levels, genders and types of employment. Thousands of non-profit organizations are able to survive and thrive with the support of talented, dedicated volunteers.
In 2006, a volunteer's time was valued at $18.77 per hour. This figure is based on the average hourly wages of non-agricultural, non-supervisory workers with 12% added for benefits. You can find more research on volunteer labor, with up-to-date hourly values, at www.independentsector.org.

How Volunteer Management Coach Can Help
The special challenges faced by volunteer managers include operating within a restrictive budget and with limited resources, and lessening the load for an overworked, sometimes overwhelmed staff.
Volunteer Management Coach can help you to:
- recruit community members who are eager to give of their time and talents;
- get staff members on board by showing them how volunteers can free up their time to handle more complex tasks;
- tailor a program that meets your agency's particular needs; and
- manage recruitment, training, workshops, recognition and rewards with very little money.
