I help non-profits build trust, create impact, and inspire belonging.
👋Are you the non-profit leader of an established organization struggling with volunteer recruitment and retention?
😢Do you feel disorganized and like your community is disengaged?
🎲Are you gambling with important stakeholder relationships, reputation, and revenue by sticking with the same routines?
Your team is doing their best but these things still happen...
😯 The Development Team finds out through conversations that important donors are current/ past volunteers. There is no documentation of this information in the donor database, or elsewhere.
🫣Volunteers who have supported the organization long-term and have interest in other areas are given the same screening and training as brand new people. They feel annoyed and unseen.
🤯Teams are scheduling volunteer meetings/ events that involve the same volunteers at overlapping times because they have not consulted one another.
😡 People with Lived Experience are often asked to volunteer in roles that require them to share their stories or relive difficult experiences. They feel tokenized or that their stories are perpetuating a stereotype.
