LoVE Online: Valuing Volunteering

Valuing volunteering is essential for fostering a vibrant and effective volunteer culture within any organisation. Volunteers are the backbone of many community initiatives, bringing diverse skills, passion, and energy to causes that matter.

Recognising and appreciating their contributions not only boosts morale and retention but also enhances the overall impact of the organisation.

By actively valuing volunteers, organisations create an environment where individuals feel respected, supported, and motivated to continue giving their time and talents. This not only benefits the volunteers themselves but also strengthens the organisation's ability to achieve its mission and build lasting relationships within the community.

Join us in an online discussion where we consider:

  • non-traditional ways of recognising and acknowledging volunteers
  • processes that enhance volunteers sense of value and ownership within an organisation
  • strategies to create a supportive, inclusive environment reflecting the organisation's commitment to valuing volunteers.

Facilitated by Cheryll Manager QSO, Kaiwhakahaere matua I General Manager of Volunteering Auckland.
Cheryll has nearly 30 years experience in facilitating training in volunteer management practices. She also has previous and current experience as a volunteer and as a leader of volunteers.
