Understanding and communicating the impact of your volunteers is crucial to increase volunteer satisfaction, improve program outcomes, and promote your volunteer program in your organization and your community. This workshop will explore how telling volunteers about the impact of their work can bolster recognition events and reinforce performance evaluation, and how you can evaluate volunteer engagement to boost volunteer impact and spark program growth. 

Join us for the final workshop in our CCVI series to learn how to use recognition and evaluation as strategies to help you understand, communicate and increase the impact of your volunteers.

Trailblazer Series:
Engaging The Media

Tuesday, December 20, 2014
6:00pm

Volunteer Toronto's Trailblazer Series is a set of leadership talks for people who manage volunteer-run non-profit organizations and groups in Toronto. The talks provide an opportunity for local leaders to hear from peers and experts on how to overcome common challenges faced by organizations with no paid staff and limited resources.

Engaging The Media
As an up and coming non-profit, it can be difficult to get your organization's name out there and raise awareness for the great work your organization does. Reaching out to the media is one way of promoting your organization, and if done successfully can create great publicity for your cause. 

The talks are free of charge and advance registration is required.
