Everyone is moved when they hear the news that a disaster has struck a community and many want to rush to help. Bushfires, floods, hurricanes, other natural disasters, pandemics and even wars are all significant disasters that can suddenly cause chaos and harm to a community. And to help these communities in need, disaster relief organizations often deploy teams of disaster relief volunteers or a community emergency response team to help.

Keen to get involved with volunteering, but not sure where to start? Virtual volunteering is a great way to get involved with meaningful projects from the comfort of your own home. While large sporting events, outdoor volunteering and volunteer abroad projects offer important ways to give back, you can make just as much of an impact without leaving home.

Volunteerism is a powerful way to expand your world views, gain new skills, strengthen communities, and build empathy and understanding. So by choosing to undertake a volunteer abroad program, not only will you get to experience the thrill of traveling abroad, you’ll also be able to contribute to creating a better world.  

What is the goal of your nonprofit organization?

Goal setting for nonprofit organizations can help future-proof your organization, and ensure you’re always moving towards your mission. Gather your staff, senior volunteers and board of directors to help you assess your current situation and then set a goal to get where you want to be.

The late nights, the stressful days, the tiny budgets and endless to-do lists are all worth it when you see the positive impact your organization makes on the community.

Data is key to a successful workforce program. The data from volunteers that we collect from registration forms helps us to better understand the wants and needs of our workforce, their availability as well as the skills and knowledge that they bring to the table. This then helps us to assign the right volunteer to the right opportunity. 

Volunteers are essential to the longevity of your event, team or non-profit organization. Volunteers help with fundraising, delivering the program, administration and community engagement. Without them, most non-profit organizations simply wouldn't be able to survive.

We became accustomed to doing so many day-to-day tasks virtually during the pandemic, including attending events and fundraising. While the initial adjustment was tough, now many organizations are realizing that virtual charity events often have a high ROI, fewer overheads, and are less labor-intensive than in-person events. Plus, online events are easy to repeat, easy to manage with a small team of volunteers, and are accessible to a wider audience. 

Between recruiting volunteers, managing budgets, staff, events and an ever-increasing need for services, it can be hard for nonprofits to find time for much else.
