Volunteers can make a big difference in your organization. Thanking them is a key ingredient in having happy, loyal volunteers. Here are some easy ways to do that:
- Regularly tell them in person how much you appreciate them. It must be sincere.
- Mail them a hand-written note telling them how much of an impact they are having.
- List all your volunteers in your newsletter along with the total number of hours donated.
- Order some special Volunteer pins and give them one.
- Send them a letter at the end of each year letting them know how many hours they gave you.
National Volunteer Appreciation Week is April 27-May 3, 2008. Plan a special picnic or reception during that week for your Volunteers. Write a Letter to the Editor of your local paper saying how much you appreciate your Volunteers.
Just thank them regularly and from your heart!
