“Volunteers are the lifeblood of non-profit organizations, but we rarely have the time/opportunity to create a volunteer strategy to support the diversity of our work,” says WPCA President Kathleen Morrissey. “This workshop will cover finding volunteers that align with your mission; sustaining long-term volunteer relationships; and making the most of your volunteer opportunities. You will be equipped to create a volunteer strategy that’s right for your organization.
