Many organizations are rethinking how volunteers can be involved in skills-based positions and project leadership roles. As you recognize gaps in what your organization wants to achieve and what it has the capacity to accomplish, engaging volunteers with targeted skills can bring more resources to the table and drive innovative strategies to expand your impact. But to get the most out of what these volunteers have to offer, you need to be ready with high-impact opportunities, clear objectives, and strong staff partnerships.

In this session, we will:

• Assess the growing interest in skills-based volunteering – from organizations and volunteers

• Explore opportunities for involving volunteers in roles with more responsibility and autonomy 

• Share strategies for successfully engaging volunteers in skill-based positions and projects

This workshop is aimed at volunteer engagement leaders seeking to start or strengthen a skills-based volunteer initiative. You will work on crafting next steps that make sense for your organization and leave with the start of an action plan, along with tools to continue the planning/development process with your colleagues.
