Your best source of new volunteers are
the ones you already have.
•An effective recruiting strategy must be aimed at recruiting new
volunteers each year, it must also be designed to retain volunteers and
convert them into leaders.
•Constantly recognize volunteers for the good work they do, while inviting
them to be part of organizational activities, such as communications, social
networking, planning.

Tips for Recruitment
• Use database to maintain volunteer records – use this to prospect
for new volunteers, or to fill specific roles. Thus, when looking for a
volunteer to help with a newsletter, you can focus on volunteers who
work in communications. You can also narrow your focus to volunteers
who work in larger companies, where more volunteers and even funding,
might be available.

Blogs, YouTube, Social Networks
Small organizations have technology that enables them to tell their story in
innovative ways, reaching people who can be volunteers, and donors.
Organizations that teach youth to use this technology as leaders and
advocates, are teaching problem solving and communications skills that youth
can use the rest of their lives.

Advertise. Never Stop.
In order to attract and keep volunteers and donors, you must
constantly be sharing your vision, and your successes.
• Show what you do, and what they can do to help you achieve your
mission.

Enlist Leaders to Help
Enlist leaders from business and faith communities who will create and lead
a call-to-involvement.
If business leaders and celebrities use their visibility, and communications tools
(advertising, web sites, point of purchase) to point to all youth serving
organizations in a city, this strategy will reach thousands of people in every
business, social and faith sector many times each day with a variety of messages
that encourage people to be volunteers, leaders, donors and business partners of
tutor/mentor programs located in Chicago and other cities.
If a business only points to one or two programs supported by their CEO, or their
foundation, they miss an important leadership opportunity, and most programs will
continue to struggle to find volunteers and donors.
Build a WE strategy. Make this part of your own strategy and help increase
visibility for all tutor/mentor programs.
