Define the contribution
Be clear about the work that needs to be done, why it matters, and what a successful contribution looks like.
Recruit
Bring the right volunteers into the right roles.
Good volunteer experiences start before someone signs up. VXP helps organizations define useful roles, set clear expectations, communicate the value of the opportunity, and build a better path from interest to contribution.
Volunteer program
What to consider.
Set expectations early
Time commitment, responsibilities, skills, support, location and outcomes should be understandable before someone commits.
Show what the volunteer gains
Define in advance what someone can reasonably contribute and gain. Experience, skills, relationships, references, community and demonstrated impact can all be meaningful reasons to participate.
Make joining straightforward
Reduce unnecessary friction between someone’s interest and their ability to start contributing.
