Before Volunteer Manager, The Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society (RAPS) used one giant email listserv to contact potential volunteers and manage their responses.
Since RAPS launched Volunteer Manager, the organization has expanded both of its volunteer programs—i.e. the types of volunteer activities available—and its pool of volunteers. Within a year of auto-enrolling 500 members, RAPS’ volunteer pool grew by 152%.
Volunteers are integral to any organization’s success. Every volunteer program’s goal should include various opportunity types and simpler processes for engaging volunteers.
Creating an avid, ideal volunteer starts with small tasks and virtual participation, then works all the way up to committees and leadership positions.
Whether you are creating volunteer opportunities or joining events and completing tasks, the process needs to feel seamless and keep volunteers coming back for more.
It’s important that you adapt, find and create volunteer opportunities that are both helpful for you and meaningful for your members.
Volunteers come to you for different reasons. If you want these busy professionals to come back month after month and year after year, you have to understand them.
