Recruiting Volunteers

101 Leadership Relationships, Volunteers

Description

There’s typically three main parts to any volunteer’s journey. Those three parts are the recruiting, the training, and the retaining. Dillan and Jeff dive into effective volunteer recruitment and offer a fresh perspective on building a vibrant volunteer team.

Key Points:

There is a continuous need for volunteers in church. Recognize it as an ongoing challenge that requires innovative solutions and strategic planning.
It is important to cultivate a volunteer culture that is rooted in relationships and teamwork, rather than merely filling roles or completing tasks.
Organizing social gatherings, such as dinners or team nights, can foster community and let potential volunteers experience the ministry’s culture firsthand.
‘Lobby pushes’ are a great way to engage the church community in volunteer opportunities. Showcase the value that comes from serving in your ministry through visual and interactive lobby displays.
There is always a need to ‘replace yourself’. This need should encourage you to mentor new volunteers, and expand the ministry’s reach and impact.
Recruiting volunteers shouldn’t come out of immediate fulfillment needs. Instead, recruit them for their potential to grow personally, contribute to the community, and witness life change through serving.
Using the MxU platform to streamline onboarding for new volunteers is a great tool. This makes it easier for them to join and integrate into the ministry team.
A quick and streamlined approach to engaging interested individuals is best. Ensure they feel welcomes, valued, and connected from their first expression of interest in serving.
