7 Tips for a Great Volunteer Experience
Those who give time are as important as those who give cash. Treat them as such.
Prepare your staff for volunteers
Let other staff members know when volunteers are coming and what they will be doing. Encourage staff to welcome volunteers and make them feel at home. Be sure to make introductions to the entire staff on a volunteer's first day.
Help volunteers feel comfortable
Help volunteers feel comfortable on their first day by showing them where they can find the restroom, fix a cup of coffee, etc. Make sure you let them know who to ask if they have questions. The goal is to help them feel comfortable in your organization, not like outsiders.
