Make the work meaningful
Volunteers should understand what they are contributing and how their work connects to a real outcome.
Experience
Create volunteer experiences people value.
Getting someone to volunteer is only the beginning. VXP helps organizations think through the experience itself—from onboarding and communication to meaningful work, support, relationships and a clear record of contribution.
Volunteer program
What to consider.
Support people properly
Clear direction, useful onboarding, responsive communication and appropriate resources make it easier for volunteers to succeed.
Track what actually happened

Build relationships
The people someone meets and works alongside can be one of the most valuable parts of volunteering.
