Webinar: Building & Nurturing Volunteer Communities

Ensuring that volunteers feel a part of something bigger than just themselves can transform one-time volunteers into truly engaged repeat volunteers. In this webinar, you'll discover the benefits of nurturing a sense of community among volunteers and explore seven principles that foster community. You'll gain tips on how to leverage social media, strategically design communications, check-in regularly, and celebrate together – virtually or in-person.

Join us for a watch party of a recorded webinar by Beth Steinhorn, President of VQ Volunteer Strategies, a nonprofit industry thought leader. This webinar is available to us courtesy of Sterling Volunteers, which provides discounted background checks for Coalition members.

There will be opportunities for discussion during and after the presentation; we'll watch 30 minutes of the recorded webinar and talk about how the principles could best be applied to home repair programs. Becca Davis, Executive Director of the Coalition for Home Repair, will facilitate the conversation. 

What You'll Learn:

• Benefits of fostering community among volunteers
• Key principles associated with effective communities and how they can apply to volunteer engagement
• Actionable steps to enhance the sense of community within your volunteer corps
