Creating Virtual Opportunities & Engaging Remote Volunteers - Part 1

•Als PPTX, PDF herunterladen•

2 gefällt mir•959 views

Beginning to incorporate virtual volunteer opportunities into your volunteer engagement program can be tricky. But, by thinking creatively, embracing technology, and creating screening, training and retention plans built specifically for remote volunteers, you can engage volunteers with the talents you need even if they're on the other side of the state, the country or the world! Join Jennifer Bennett and Deanna Cole as they discuss best practices for creating successful virtual opportunities, and building and managing relationships with remote volunteers. Part II will build on these concepts and discuss in more detail managing remote volunteers. Sample position descriptions and recruitment messages will be provided. While it is strongly encouraged and extremely beneficial to attend both Part I and Part II of this series, attending both is not required.

What are we talking about?
• What are virtual opportunities?
• How can virtual opportunities/remote volunteers
work in your program?
• Think creatively, build a strong foundation.
• Tools and steps for making it happen.
• What’s next?

What are virtual opportunities?
Virtual opportunities and remote volunteers can
expand your program – Think about the work now.
What could be different?
• Remote and offsite, not necessarily computer
based, or far geographically.
• What can be done offsite? What has to be done
onsite?
• What can be expanded?

Building a Foundation
• Clear position descriptions.
• Roles, responsibilities and expectations
• Don’t get paralyzed by fear of letting go. What’s
holding you back?
•Is this you, your organization, your existing volunteers?
• Look at the big picture – how do things fit together
• Are all of your stakeholders on the same page?

Don’t abandon what works!
• Processes and policies are in place for a reason
• Still want to screen and interview. Orient and train.
• Create an authority continuum
•What can volunteers decide on their own, decide with
consultation, never decide?
• Needs assessment for the role/work
• Make sure you include evaluation and close the loop!

Talk about it!
• Communication with existing volunteers
• Volunteers have ownership or control over programs
• Who in your organization is invested in the
volunteer engagement program?
• Organization leadership, program managers or
directors, patrons, existing volunteers
• Discuss stop, start, continue
• What’s working, what’s not working?

Talk about it!
• Create a plan for communicating with remote
volunteers
• Don’t “set it and forget it” – keep in contact, address
issues
• Use channels that are already working
• Be clear on what the volunteer prefers – work to their
strengths
• Create community and duplicate success
• Online groups, hangouts, try and evaluate

What’s available to help make it work?
• Look for free resources
• VolunteerMatch, LinkedIn, Skype/Hangouts, chat/IM
• Sister organizations & like minded groups
• You don’t have to reinvent the wheel – who else is
doing something similar?
• What can you learn from others inside/outside the
field
• Conferences, training events, DOVIA/Volunteer
Manager’s group –– no rocks unturned

What’s available to help make it work?
• Review and reflect
• What are you currently doing? How can virtual
opportunities support or expand the mission?
• Do you have the room to grow?
• Can you rethink what it means to be a volunteer to save
money/time/program?
• Can you start to identify organizations/chapters
who are leading the way?
• Look for success stories and build from there.

We all worry about the hard risks that can have an impact on our volunteers and the work they do, but too often we don’t think about the soft risk. Soft risks are the attitudes, beliefs and actions that expose our organizations to risks. Those risks may include the actions of staff – both paid and volunteer, interactions on social media, lack of training for leaders and volunteers - leading to risky behavior, and how failing to screen for characteristics or “fit” can open volunteers and the organization up to risk. This webinar is designed to help attendees identify soft risks in their organization and give them the tools to make changes to processes and culture to minimize and address these risks. What You'll Learn: * Understand how your organization's culture of volunteer engagement may be opening it up to soft risk. * Lead your organization though a soft risk assessment. * Design communication and training plans to address soft risk.

Understanding Soft Risk in Volunteer Engagement

Central Ohio VAN - Best Practices for Recruiting Online

Is your organization open to engaging volunteers in new ways? Often one of the biggest challenges to a new model of volunteer engagement is the resistance of paid staff. Often attitudes and fears of our co-workers prevent us from expanding the work that volunteers do. But, if you've never worked with volunteers before, it can be scary. In this webinar we'll discuss strategies for working with paid staff to engage volunteers. We'll cover what you can do to alleviate some of those fears, strategies for working within a Union environment, and how you can train and support your coworkers as they become responsible for managing volunteers.

Build Staff Buy-in for your Volunteer Engagement Program

VolunteerMatch

What should you do when it’s time to change the policies and procedures that govern or guide the volunteers that work with your organization? How can you create a culture of inclusion and get buy-in for those new policies? This training will give you the tools to approach program changes in a strategic way. We will also cover what to do if volunteers either can’t or won’t adopt the policies, how to manage that situation, and what to do if ultimately you need to ask a volunteer to leave. Moderated discussion topics include current communications around volunteer policies, evaluating volunteer conflict resolution policies and what they should cover, and challenges around dismissing volunteers.

Succesfully Implementing Volunteer Program Changes

VolunteerMatch

What volunteers want to do with their time, how they want to get involved and make a difference is changing. For many organizations this means that leaders of volunteer engagement are scrambling to re-think volunteer work what it means to be a volunteer in their organizations. Creating new opportunities for volunteers can be challenging - how do you create these new opportunities, how do gain buy-in from paid staff and existing volunteers, how do you know it's working? Join Carla Lehn, Library Programs Consultant for the California State Library and Beth Steinhorn, President of JFFIxler Group has they talk about what they've learned about transforming volunteer engagement programs. Beth will share lessons she's learned from engaging Boomers as volunteers and the importance of creating impact-driven opportunities, and Carla will share how she's transformed what it means to be a library volunteer and how she worked with paid staff to make this happen. Both Carla and Beth have written chapters in VolunteerMatch’s new book Volunteer Engagement 2.0: Ideas and Insights Changing the World. This book explores the innovative volunteer engagement approaches that are reshaping nonprofits and their communities, and shows how you can bring these approaches to your own organization.

VolunteerMatch

Too often organizations look at volunteer engagement as something that's nice to have, and never realize the true potential of volunteers. But, our organizations become more successful, responsive, and effective when we look at volunteers as a key component to our organization's success. In this session we'll discuss creating a connection between the work volunteers do and the mission of your organization. You'll learn how to design volunteer opportunities with real impact, and how to tell the story of that impact both within your organization and to your community. Attendees will leave with sample mission-driven position descriptions and a worksheet to help craft their organization's story of volunteer engagement.

So many volunteer managers depend on groups of volunteers to meet the needs of their programs. Different types of groups can come with their own challenges. We’ll discuss ideas for working with corporate groups, youth groups, and other groups. Effective practices for engagement, ideas for diversifying the work and commitment level of volunteer groups, the importance of creating opportunities with measurable impacts, and communicating those impacts will be discussed.

Join this free webinar to learn more about social media, and how you can use social media tools to increase your volunteer engagement and expand your volunteer recruitment. Volunteer engagement is changing. What do you need to know about social media as a volunteer program manager? How can you use social media to promote your volunteer opportunities and recruit volunteers? This webinar will offer an introduction to including social media in your volunteer recruitment and retention plans. You'll see examples of Twitter, Facebook and YouTube pages, as well as blogs that other nonprofits have successfully used to draw attention to their organizations and volunteer opportunities. You'll also learn about the social media tools available as part of your VolunteerMatch account that can help you promote your volunteer opportunity on other social networking sites. VolunteerMatch is here to help make it easy for you to recruit volunteers, manage existing volunteers, and promote your organization.

Social Media and Volunteer Engagement

VolunteerMatch

At VolunteerMatch we have a unique view into what volunteers are looking for in an opportunity. The age of one-size fits all volunteer engagement is coming to an end. This webinar will start with a review of some of the things that we know about what volunteers are looking for in an opportunity. It will then help you use this information to start designing volunteer opportunities and determining who is the “right” volunteer for your program. You’ll also learn how “word of mouth” plays such a large role in attracting volunteers to your organization and how social media makes this even more important. This is a great introduction to some of our more advanced webinars including Where do I go from here? Engage Volunteers in New Ways, and Developing a Strategic Plan for Volunteer Engagement

Re=Energize Your Volunteer Program: Creating Mission-Driven Opportunities

VolunteerMatch

It's important to create a culture of inclusion and engagement of volunteers within your organization. But, it can be hard to recognize what your current culture says to volunteers, or identify how to make changes to help volunteers feel more welcome. This webinar will help you identify how your organization's current culture is shaping or limiting what volunteers do, and provide steps you can take to start to create more understanding, respect, and appreciation for engaging volunteers.

Creating a Culture of Volunteer Engagement

VolunteerMatch

As leaders of volunteer engagement we want to share the impact volunteers have in our organization and in the community, but often the information we track doesn’t help us tell that story - The real story of volunteer engagement is so much more than the number of volunteers and hours served. In this workshop Jennifer will discuss gathering the right information to inform your story and the key components to good storytelling. She'll also share how to build support and buy-in for the work volunteers do through compelling storytelling, and how to engage other staff – paid and volunteer – in this work. During this workshop participants will be asked to explore how they tell the story of volunteer impact in their organization now, and through facilitated group discussion and brainstorming create a story that more accurately shares the work that volunteers do, identify what information could quantify or qualify the impact of that work, and leave with a worksheet and resources to begin telling and sharing that story.

Storytelling in Volunteer Engagement

VolunteerMatch

Are you engaging volunteers with an eye to the future? Do you know what your volunteer program should look like in 3 or 5 years? Join us as we talk about the fundamentals for creating a strategic plan for volunteer engagement for your organizations. This webinar will include components that should be included as well as ideas for working with organization leaders to include strategic goals for volunteer engagement in your organization's overall strategic plan.

Developing a Strategic Plan

VolunteerMatch

Interviewing each prospective volunteer can seem overwhelming, but it's one of the best ways to ensure that the volunteers you recruit are the volunteers you need. This webinar introduces a variety of question types used in volunteer interviews and offers strategies for honing your interview skills. Materials will be provided to help you implement this process in your organization, as well as a training syllabus so you can learn how to recruit and train a volunteer staff to assist with prospective volunteer interviews.

What separates successful, innovative corporate responsibility programs from the status quo? The answer may be simpler than you think. On March 18th, 2016, Stephanie Staidle, founder of The Right Brain Entrepreneur joined VolunteerMatch to explore The Power of Why: The Key to Uniting Employees Around Your Company Vision. In this complimentary webinar, attendees learned how to unite employees around your company vision and inspire them to take part in your cause work. How? By understanding and using your company's "why".

Volunteer engagement often focuses on hard risks: accidents, past bad behavior, or access to confidential information. While these risks are real we often overlook the soft risks that also jeopardize the success and sustainability of volunteer engagement. This session will look at the soft risks associated with engaging volunteers including: “word of mouth” reputation, interactions on social media, lack of training being responsible for inaccurate information being given out, and how failing to screen for characteristics or “fit” can open volunteers, the volunteer engagement program, and the organization up to risk. Attendees will learn to identify these soft risks in their own program through examples, modeled interactions, & learnings from the HR and for-profit sectors, and develop a plan to mitigate the effects on their organization. Attendees will leave with a Soft Risk worksheet as well as action plan for addressing soft risk in recruiting, screening and training volunteers.

Nonprofit organizations provide some of the most basic and essential services to those who need them most: clean water, food, shelter, etc. However, despite often Herculean efforts, many organizations lack resources and find themselves understaffed and underfunded. For organizations to survive, thrive, and fulfill their missions, the key is constant innovation. During this free webinar, we’ll discuss how innovative nonprofits (e.g. American Red Cross, GRID Alternative, buildOn, etc.) utilize Customer Centric Design Thinking — a methodology developed at the Institute of Design at Stanford — to think outside-the-box and find ways to leverage existing resources, volunteers, staff, and social media presence to increase impact. We’ll then discuss methods for using design thinking to increase engagement, awareness, volunteerism, and fundraising at your organization. This webinar will be lead by Ryall Carroll, Ph.D. Marketing and Co-Founder of raiserve.org.

Too often the role of engaging volunteers falls exclusively to the volunteer program manager. It's not uncommon to hear the phrase "your volunteers" used within organizations. How do you make volunteer engagement everyone's job? This webinar will provide you with the tools to become an advocate for volunteer engagement. Learn how to create a step by step communication plan to reinforce the importance of volunteer engagement to key stakeholders within your organization.

VolunteerMatch

How people want to spend their volunteer time is changing. What volunteers are looking for today, and will be looking for tomorrow, is different from what volunteers wanted just a few years ago. Whether you're looking to invite volunteers into your organization or send employees out into the community as volunteers this session can help. 2015 VolunteerMatch Summit attendees learned how to design opportunities that provide the right experience for volunteers by rethinking the work (and the way it's talked about), focusing on the impact of the work, and thinking about the skills, experiences and characteristics of the "right" volunteer for the role.

Cost: Free Designing meaningful, mission-driven virtual volunteer opportunities, and managing remote volunteers can be challenging. How do you create work than can be done independently, and still supervise, evaluate, or recognize the work of a volunteer you never meet face to face? The good news is that now, with an ever growing set of online tools, building an online community and connecting with someone across miles (or continents) is easier. In this webinar we will discuss best practices for creating those opportunities and developing meaningful relationships with remote volunteers, including building and empowering remote teams, managing projects by letting go but not checking out, and creating a two-way communication plan to share the work of remote volunteers with the organization and share what's happening at the organization with remote volunteers.

Many companies invest a lot of time in researching nonprofits and curating one-off volunteer opportunities for their employees. Yet research shows that one-third of employees won’t actually give through their workplace because they’re not able to choose the causes that matter to them.

The VolunteerMatch Network is a consolidation of vetted, real-time nonprofit volunteer needs, all in one place. It can be easily integrated into your existing corporate giving platform in a way that’s tailored to your company’s goals and preferences.

"Stop the Funding: Social Sector is Fully Resourced." Until we see this headline across our newsfeeds, the corporate sector must continue to innovate on ways to build nonprofit capacity. Pro bono and skilled volunteering can connect the dots between the shortage of resources and the wealth of skills in the private sector. With 76% of nonprofits reporting an increase in demand for their services and over 50% unable to meet the demand, skilled volunteering programs offer a tremendous value to an organization’s infrastructure allowing for increased capacity and expanded programming. Taproot Foundation led a panel discussion with leading corporate and nonprofit partners who shared real-life examples of succeeding at, stumbling with, and scaling skilled volunteer and pro bono programs! Attendees heard from experts and walked away with tools supporting an increased engagement in pro bono and skilled volunteering.

Software developers are intended to be massive, highly leverageable value creators for their companies and teams - using their creative and technical talent to build products themselves or mission-critical systems that facilitate the delivery of value inside the business. The blunt truth, however, is that many software developers would screw up tying their own shoes when left to their own devices. There's an abundant corpus of work out there on how managers routinely let down their software developers through insufficient planning, communication, listening, and support. In this talk we're going to explore the inverse - how individual software developers contributing to a project unintentionally sabotage their teams, their companies, their projects, and themselves through: * Immutable technical preferences + biases; * Bad attitudes; * Poor listening; * Inflexible and unproductive learning styles; * Risk aversion; * Incuriosity; * And more! Most importantly, in this talk we're going to try to address how we can help shift developers who want to learn and improve, but are have trouble executing, become the high value contributors they'd like to be.

This paper "Beyond the Codes: Repositioning Towards a Sustainable Development," presented in 2013, underscores the crucial role of effective communication in driving sustainability within engineering practice. While traditional engineering approaches have relied heavily on codes of measurement and standardization to ensure safety and efficiency, the paper argues for a fundamental repositioning of engineering towards sustainability. This repositioning, depicted as going "beyond the codes," urges engineers to integrate sustainability principles into their work. Engineers must recognize that sustainability encompasses environmental stewardship, social equity, and economic prosperity, transcending mere compliance with technical standards. This broader mandate requires engineers to engage in dialogue with diverse stakeholders, including policymakers, industry leaders, and communities. Effective communication becomes paramount in fostering collaboration and garnering support for sustainable initiatives. Moreover, engineers must embrace a new mindset that positions sustainability as a core aspect of their profession. They must advocate for sustainability within their organizations, challenging existing norms, and championing innovative solutions. This shift in perspective requires engineers to become proficient communicators, capable of articulating the value proposition of sustainability to various audiences. Internal communication within engineering firms is equally vital, fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation. Engineers must share knowledge, expertise, and best practices to accelerate the adoption of sustainable technologies and practices. Visual communication tools, such as data visualization, can aid in conveying complex technical information effectively. Ultimately, the paper emphasizes that effective communication is essential for repositioning engineering towards sustainability. By embracing communication as a core competency and championing sustainability, engineers can navigate the complexities of the 21st century and pave the way for a more sustainable future.

Your voice, smiling, facial expressions, body language, and genuine Hospitality are tightly connected. Always strive to be a Hospitality service professional. The importance of Smiling is vital in the hospitality industry. People who were or are being raised and educated on digital devices have not had the opportunity to learn and use the necessary and multiple communication skills the way previous generations did. It's a lost art that needs to be presented to the generations that followed the Baby Boomers. These are the generations alive today: Generation X, Generation Y (Millennials), Generation Z, and Generation Alpha.

Creating Virtual Opportunities & Engaging Remote Volunteers - Part 1

1. Page 1

2. Page 2 Jennifer Bennett @JenBennettCVA CVA, Senior Manager, Education & Training Deanna Cole @ivolunteerU CVA, CEO-Founder, iVolunteerUniversity

3. What are we talking about? • What are virtual opportunities? • How can virtual opportunities/remote volunteers work in your program? • Think creatively, build a strong foundation. • Tools and steps for making it happen. • What’s next?

4. What are virtual opportunities? Virtual opportunities and remote volunteers can expand your program – Think about the work now. What could be different? • Remote and offsite, not necessarily computer based, or far geographically. • What can be done offsite? What has to be done onsite? • What can be expanded?

5. Building a Foundation • Clear position descriptions. • Roles, responsibilities and expectations • Don’t get paralyzed by fear of letting go. What’s holding you back? •Is this you, your organization, your existing volunteers? • Look at the big picture – how do things fit together • Are all of your stakeholders on the same page?

6. Don’t abandon what works! • Processes and policies are in place for a reason • Still want to screen and interview. Orient and train. • Create an authority continuum •What can volunteers decide on their own, decide with consultation, never decide? • Needs assessment for the role/work • Make sure you include evaluation and close the loop!

7. Talk about it! • Communication with existing volunteers • Volunteers have ownership or control over programs • Who in your organization is invested in the volunteer engagement program? • Organization leadership, program managers or directors, patrons, existing volunteers • Discuss stop, start, continue • What’s working, what’s not working?

8. Talk about it! • Create a plan for communicating with remote volunteers • Don’t “set it and forget it” – keep in contact, address issues • Use channels that are already working • Be clear on what the volunteer prefers – work to their strengths • Create community and duplicate success • Online groups, hangouts, try and evaluate

9. What’s available to help make it work? • Look for free resources • VolunteerMatch, LinkedIn, Skype/Hangouts, chat/IM • Sister organizations & like minded groups • You don’t have to reinvent the wheel – who else is doing something similar? • What can you learn from others inside/outside the field • Conferences, training events, DOVIA/Volunteer Manager’s group –– no rocks unturned

10. What’s available to help make it work? • Review and reflect • What are you currently doing? How can virtual opportunities support or expand the mission? • Do you have the room to grow? • Can you rethink what it means to be a volunteer to save money/time/program? • Can you start to identify organizations/chapters who are leading the way? • Look for success stories and build from there.
