Phase 3: Expanding Reach and Impact
Targeted Recruitment for Specialized Skills
Identify specific skills gaps within your organization and develop targeted recruitment strategies to attract volunteers with those skills (e.g., marketing, event planning, grant writing).
Develop Micro-Volunteering Opportunities
Offer short-term, task-based volunteer opportunities that require a smaller time commitment to engage individuals with limited availability.
Explore Virtual Volunteering Options
Identify tasks that can be completed remotely to broaden your volunteer pool and engage individuals who may not be able to volunteer in person.
Measure and Communicate Impact
- Develop robust metrics to track the tangible impact of your volunteer program on your Main Street's revitalization efforts.
- Effectively communicate these achievements to stakeholders, including volunteers, board members, and the wider community.
