Since many non-profits and membership organizations struggle to recruit volunteers, we’ve created a guide on How to Recruit Volunteers from Start to Finish to pair with our checklist below. This will not only help your staff who are new to volunteer recruitment, but also existing volunteers who may be involved in the recruitment process!

The most successful recruitment campaigns will include more than just posting on social media or sending an email out to your supporters. It’s important to utilize all resources to spread the word about your volunteer opportunities. Consider your current volunteers, community members, local businesses, website and tech like volunteer matching software.

Be sure to check out the full guide for a deep dive into volunteer recruitment, but without further ado – we have the checklist below! And if you’d like a downloadable PDF version to save for later, you can find that here.
