The Library Volunteer series includes three one-hour webinars on recruiting, managing and retaining volunteers.

Part 3: Keeping Your Volunteers for the Long-Term

It’s been said that the only thing harder than recruiting and managing volunteers is keeping them as valuable contributors for an extended period of time. What do volunteers need to stay with your library? What do we do when our relationship with them starts to go stale?

This webinar answers those questions and looks at three important considerations in volunteer retention:

1. The 13 Basic Needs of Volunteers, including support from staff
2. Ways to reach out and maintain the connection with volunteers (Hint: Don’t expect them to be the only ones reaching out)
3. Proven ways to recognize volunteers that work!

This webinar will be delivered via SEFLIN Connect. Log-in information will be emailed approximately one week before the course.
