How to effectively manage your volunteers

04th April, 2023

Volunteers play a crucial role in the success of not-for-profit organizations, and managing them effectively is essential to achieve their goals. Managing volunteers involves more than just finding people to help. It includes providing appropriate training, inductions, and qualifications, reporting, and ensuring they sign in and out when they arrive and leave.

Training and Inductions; Volunteers need to be trained and equipped with the necessary skills to carry out their roles effectively. This may include general training on the organization’s mission, policies, and procedures, as well as specific training for their particular role. Inductions should cover information about the organization’s structure, values, and expectations. It is important to ensure that the volunteers have a good understanding of what is expected of them and what they can expect from the organization.

Qualifications depending on the nature of the work, volunteers may require specific qualifications or certifications to carry out their roles. For example, if they are working with children, they may need a Working with Children Check. It is important to identify the qualifications required for the volunteer roles and to ensure that volunteers have the necessary certifications before they commence their roles.

Reporting is essential for managing volunteers effectively. This includes regular communication about the organization’s activities, upcoming events, and other important information. It is also important to provide feedback to volunteers on their performance and to recognize and celebrate their contributions.

Sign in and out keeping track of volunteers’ arrival and departure times is important for safety, security, and legal reasons. This may involve having a sign-in sheet at the entrance to the organization’s premises or using a digital sign-in system.

In conclusion, managing volunteers effectively involves providing appropriate training, inductions, and qualifications, regular reporting, and ensuring they sign in and out when they arrive and leave. By implementing these practices with automation and software, not-for-profit organizations can maximize the impact of their volunteers and achieve their goals.
