Capturing & Communicating Volunteer Engagement Impact (Session 3A)

Time: 12:55 am - 2:20 pm

Demonstrating results goes beyond counting the number of volunteers in your program and the hours of service they provide.  This interactive workshop will lead participants through a process designed to demonstrate quantitative and, more importantly, qualitative results that position volunteer engagement as a valuable and effective resource within your organization.  Learn how to use accountability tools including work plans and progress reports to measure impact and outcomes.  Create a strong case statement for volunteer engagement and learn how storytelling can be used as a tool for spreading the word about the benefits and results of your program.
