• VIP for Nonprofit Agencies

Click here to download the application.

Learn how to shift from a culture of traditional volunteer management where volunteers are placed in positions based on predetermined staff needs to a model of volunteer engagement where Boomer and other volunteers partner with staff to build organizational capacity.

Engage volunteers in high-impact positions. THIS is a powerful way to use skills and talents to help build capacity to serve clients and deliver programs.

Working with a trained Volunteer Facilitator, your nonprofit will follow a process for organizational capacity-building outlined in the guidebook Boomer Volunteer Engagement: Collaborate Today, Thrive Tomorrow.*

Through this program, you will learn how to  tap into an abundant resource of volunteers. Your organization will develop a sustainable capacity to involve volunteers directly in accomplishing your mission, even in these challenging economic times.

The program for agencies spans a six-month period and involves training sessions, coaching, and project development and implementation.

There is a $250 fee for participation.

Facilitate a process of learning – and applying – new approaches to engaging volunteers in collaboration with paid staff to build capacity. After a half-day training course, Facilitators are paired with one or two agencies for a six-month commitment of approximately 20 – 35 hours/agency.
