Do you work with volunteers in a city or county? Do you work with volunteers anywhere but struggle to tell the story of impact? Check out our newest (free) playbook: Revealing Volunteer Impact in your City: The Playbook. Developed in partnership with OfferoVMS.

Let's continue the Volunteer Appreciation topic with more ideas! As noted last week, acknowledging and recognizing the volunteers of your community or organization needs to be constant. Consider these ways: - List volunteers in the community newsletter - Acknowledge a committee or particular volunteer at a Board meeting - Hold a volunteer appreciation event - Hang photos of the volunteers in the clubhouse - Highlight the work and time with photos and videos at the annual meeting What other ways do you acknowledge your volunteers? #tiptuesday #volunteerappreciationmonth

Sharing the positive difference volunteers make is more important than ever. OfferoVMS and Beth Steinhorn of VQ Volunteer Strategies teamed up to create Revealing Volunteer Impact In Your City: The Playbook. The resource will help you audit your current measurement practices, learn new ways to track impact, and develop a plan for success. Download this guide to go beyond counting hours alone and transform the way you measure and communicate volunteer impact. https://lnkd.in/gm9itFjC

🌟 Unlock the Power of Volunteering! 🌟 Are you ready to make a meaningful impact while boosting your own well-being? Volunteering isn't just about helping others; it's also about enhancing your life. Research shows that when we lend a hand or contribute resources to those in need, our brains release feel-good endorphins, leading to what psychologists call the "helper's high." 🧠💫 #BKSThePulse #WellnessWednesday #Volunteering
