Volunteer

Recruitment

and

Management

Who is a

volunteer?

• A person who voluntarily undertakes

or expresses a willingness to

undertake a service.• Merriam Webster 2011

Does your

organization:

• Seek out resources to find

volunteers?

• Have current volunteers

bring friends and family to

join them?

• Utilize the Volunteer

Milledgeville website?

How about:

• Recognizing volunteers for their efforts?

• Training volunteers for certain tasks?

• Using social media sites to advertise volunteer opportunities?

Are Your

Volunteers:

• Aware of how much they contribute to

your organization?

• Able to make the most of their time

when they volunteer with your

organization?

• Asked for feedback?

Volunteers are

worth how much?

• According to Independent Sector, the

2010 national value of a volunteer

hour was $21.36.

• In the state of Georgia in 2009, that

value was $19.94.

Consider…

• At the Georgia value of $19.96 per hour of

a single volunteer time….

– 20 volunteers for 2.5 hours can save your

organization nearly $1,000

– 10 volunteers for 2 hours a week for one year

can save your organization over $20,000

As you can clearly see, volunteers are worth

your organization’s time and energy to seek

out and manage well!
