Volunteers
We provide an avenue of feedback, so volunteers have a way of communicating with decision-makers. Thank, praise, and celebrate! Verbal "thank you's," thank you notes, small gifts or candy, photos of remembrance, banners of recognition, and bulletin or newsletter appreciation messages are all the ways we make volunteers feel special. We make volunteers feel welcome, by providing everyone with a nametag to wear at all times. We familiarize volunteers with the goals, values, and vision for the organization. These are a few things we do.
