NEW Resource: Youth Virtual Volunteer Engagement Playbook

Available as of November 25, 2020, non-profit groups looking to create, improve, and enhance their youth (under 18) virtual volunteering programming are invited to access a new playbook.

The playbook was informed by more than 30 youth and 20 non-profit leaders, created in a partnership between Pledges for Change and Volunteer Toronto. The playbook includes infographics, case studies, and six tools to help non-profits engage youth meaningfully in a virtual environment.

Tools include:

• Prioritization Matrix: Prioritize which volunteer opportunities to transition or create online for youth

• Pressure Test: Test your virtual volunteer role descriptions against key considerations

• Marketing Toolkit: Leverage different marketing approaches to recruit youth virtual volunteers for your program

• Check-In Template: Map regular check-ins and social events with your volunteers, including what you should cover

• Feedback Survey: Access simple survey tips to evaluate the two-way relationship between your organization and youth volunteers

• Safety One-Page Resource: Read our one-page resource to ensure your youth virtual roles consider the safety and privacy of all participants
