Volunteer Retention
Keep your volunteers motivated and engaged with your mission
Volunteers represent an increasingly valuable asset for nonprofits, especially in raising awareness, broadening reach, and fostering new funding relationships. Recruiting, recognizing, and retaining volunteers is a critical component of organizational success. A strategic volunteer management plan is going to offer nonprofit organizations in general and volunteer-driven organizations in particular the benefit of increased organizational engagement, better retention rates, and more referral opportunities. We help organizations develop a roadmap, address volunteer program efficiency, and build a more strategic, positive volunteer experience.

Almora Advisors developed a comprehensive and strategic Volunteer Management Plan for C-Change Conversations. They were very professional in their approach and provided a well-conceived structure to guide us through the process, helping crystalize goals and strategies and providing strong recommendations for implementation. While the undertaking was quite rigorous, we enjoyed it and felt we had strong partners guiding us.
