Past Webinars
Join Jennifer Bennett, CVA for an in-depth workshop series to re-envision your volunteer recruitment strategy. Come with a volunteer opportunity in mind and evaluate the existing position description, build a volunteer persona specifically for that role, craft targeted recruitment messaging, use that message to create a volunteer opportunity on Idealist, and finally design a follow up communication strategy to keep interested prospective volunteers engaged. Each session is designed to build off the previous session, so please register and plan to watch the recording if you can't attend live.
