The Volunteer Recruitment Book – A Membership Recommended Book

This book is literally crammed with every suggestion and recommendation on the subject of recruitment developed over Susan’s 30-plus years in the volunteer management field. The book first shows how to design the best assignments for volunteers as the initial step to recruit the most qualified people. What follows is a wealth of information on topics ranging from how your organization’s image affects your success in recruitment to where to look for new volunteers, including your own backyard. The Volunteer Recruitment Book also offers a whole chapter on membership development for all-volunteer organizations, including how to get current members “off the rolls and on their feet.” The Appendix,”Outreach in Cyberspace,” explains the Internet as a powerful recruitment tool. Learn how to make your own agency’s Web site attract applicants, utilize online registries of volunteer opportunities well, and incorporate Internet capabilities to target your search.
