Event summary
Recruitment and retention can be tricky at the best of times, particularly when looking to attract particular cohorts of volunteers. It’s important to examine the make up of our volunteer teams, what barriers may exist for specific cohorts and how you can encourage volunteers from different demographics.
This session is interactive and focused on discussion-based scenarios, but also draws from the Volunteering Victoria Youth Ready Guide and Assessment to examine strategies specifically to engage young people.
Topics include:
- Understand the recruitment and retention in line with the National Standards for Volunteer Involvement
- Understand how to target specific volunteer cohorts
- Identify barriers that may exist for specific volunteer cohorts
- Understand Volunteering Victoria’s five key areas for increasing engagement with young people
Who should attend?
People who oversee volunteers or volunteer led programs, or those who want to start a volunteer program that engages young people.
PLEASE NOTE: Organisations/groups/individuals based in the City of Yarra or that service Yarra's community will be prioritised.
