My own message is the same thing in reverse: If you have a good manager of volunteers you'll have a great volunteer programme.<br /><br />I've not long come back from a wow of a gathering in Wellington where the crowd, the buzz, the networking, and the plaudits for managers of volunteers was awesome - like we really are worth something!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596539150010331635.post-51178982466962568782013-04-28T23:02:35.053+10:002013-04-28T23:02:35.053+10:00Thank you for visiting my blog.

My apologies for the delay in replying. <br /><br />Most people these days no matter what their age are fairly computer savy. A Website with a Volunteer Services page providing information on the volunteer program is a great start to recruit volunteers of all ages. Email is useful for sending out a standard reply, application form and further information on the next stage of the recruitment process. Having a volunteer program which is flexible, allowing for short term or episodic volunteering is what works for younger people in particular, who are fitting in their volunteering around study timetables which can change each semester. Email is also a great tool for diseminating information quickly to a lot of people for example a newsletter with important information on upcoming events, training days and other reminders. <br /><br />In answer to your question I would not treat younger or older volunteers differently in terms of strategies. Some younger people may generally use texting to communicate, however a phone call or email are the prefered method of contact as they are more reliable and work better. A phone call made at midnight to an office phone message bank is preferable to a midnight text on my mobile phone.<br /><br />Thank you again Sasha for your interest and taking time to comment. All the best with your study.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Wendy MWendy Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13905408753088729631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596539150010331635.post-20054865392431874902013-02-19T10:42:42.872+10:002013-02-19T10:42:42.872+10:00Hi Wendy.

I am doing a research project for my Nonprofit Management class and think that this post presents a strong outline for how volunteers can be reached. Focusing on age differences of volunteers, do you think that one strategy has an advantage over another for younger or older volunteers? For example, I've read some literature indicating that younger people prefer to not be reached by email for recruitment, recognition, etc. I'm just curious about your thoughts.

However, the very nature of social media means people are going to say things about an organisation (good and bad) regardless of whether they are engaging in social media as an institution. At least by allowing staff to use social media there is increased ability to monitor what people say and respond to it. Not going onto sites like Twitter at all is the technological equivalent of and organisation doing an ostrich sticking its head in the sand.Rob Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11677156991928583762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596539150010331635.post-31041659354698765452012-03-04T14:54:36.273+10:002012-03-04T14:54:36.273+10:00Thanks Liza.
