National Volunteer Week is April 19-25, 2009. How will you recognize your volunteers? Here are a few suggestions.
Send your best volunteers a hand-written note card thanking them for their time throughout the past 12 months. If you track their time, tell them how many hours they have contributed to your organization.
List your volunteers in your next newsletter and publicly thank them for their efforts.
Write a letter to the Editor of your local paper and thank your volunteers for their time.
Some organizations give volunteers little treats like pins or magnets. You don’t have to spend money on trinkets to let folks know how much you appreciate them, especially this year. Just be warm and sincere and it will do the trick.
