We support you in crafting a volunteer strategy that delivers
The key to a successful volunteer strategy? Having the courage to delve deep into the core of your organisation. It takes guts to flip your existing beliefs and thought patterns about volunteers. Yet, this very process fosters a resilient volunteer strategy focused on sustainability and tangible impact.
How do we go about developing your volunteer strategy?
- We start by taking a selfie of your organisation. What are the strengths and areas for improvement in your current setup and volunteer efforts? What’s unfolding in your sector, in the market, and across society?
- Knowledge is power. Using the right data, we unveil trends and patterns, allowing us to chart our course.
- We uncover your organisation’s ‘green curves’, as plotted on the graph below: the things where the impact shoots up exponentially in relation to the time and effort you put in. These are the areas to prioritise.
- Who are our volunteers? Who do we anticipate reaching out to and involving in the future? Together, we delve into potential target groups and map out strategies to draw them in and keep them engaged.
- We bridge the gap with a tailor-made approach, aligning your desired organisational impact with the needs and expectations of both current and future target audiences.

We steer you toward measuring your accomplishments: what results does your volunteer strategy yield, and what tangible impact comes with it?
