Going Beyond Volunteers Needed: Effective Copy-Writing for Volunteer Recruitment

✨ Thursday, May 9, 2024

✨  9:30-11:30am 

✨ Meeting virtually over Zoom

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: 

Many organizations still struggle with post-pandemic volunteer recruitment and while there are no silver bullets to this challenging issue, re-evaluating your copy-writing can be one effective response. In this presentation, Aleks takes a practical marketing lens on writing more effective and engaging volunteer recruitment postings which can also be used on websites, social media and other recruitment channels. She will highlight some copywriting examples from the broader world of non-profit communications and also provide some real-life (anonymized) examples from Volunteer Success as case studies. 

Learning Objectives:

• Distinguishing between a volunteer posting versus a position description
• How to create an impactful recruitment message
• Calls to Action (CTAs) for Volunteer Recruitment
