Engage Volunteers

Connect with your volunteers by sending emails, and set up your website to help volunteers learn about opportunities.

• Stay in Touch with your Volunteers
  An important part of attracting and retaining good volunteers is making sure they feel connected to your organization and appreciated by the people who work there. Imagine signing up to volunteer for an event months before it happens, but never receiving a reminder. Or spending time volunteering at an event, but never receiving acknowledgment of your time or a simple thank you note. Appreciating your volunteers by staying in touch is key to ensuring that they come back to volunteer again.
• Engage Volunteers on your Website
  This section assumes your Administrator integrated Volunteers for Salesforce with your website. And we sure hope they did! Using Volunteers for Salesforce with your website provides the opportunity for volunteers to visit your website and see a calendar of the Job and Shift offerings you entered in Volunteers for Salesforce. Not only can they see the calendar or a list of Job offerings, but they can sign up right from the page and that information will be saved in Volunteers for Salesforce.
