Volunteer Recruitment and Retention

Have you been successful in recruiting volunteers in the past but now seem to have hit a wall of apathy?  Are there populations you'd love to involve but who do not seem attracted to your organization?  Maybe the problem lies in the hidden messages of your recruitment techniques.

Volunteering is a distinct human characteristic.  This distinct human creativity, communication and sense of community is what makes people want to get involved.  Volunteers are key to any type of organization because they bring incredible passion, a variety of skills and multiple contacts.  Recruiting and retaining the right volunteers is a must.

In the early stages of the 1984 general election major polls showed Ronald Reagan's re-election bid down double-digit points.  With Ed Rollins as Reagan's National Campaign Director the campaign recovered to win one of the most amazing election victories in American history, turning that 18-point deficit into an 18 percent advantage in the popular vote.  On Election Day the campaign won 49 out of 50 states and the highest number of electoral votes ever in the Electoral College.
