The Volunteer Management Lifecycle

The Volunteer Management Lifecycle is a framework that organizations use to effectively engage and support volunteers. It consists of several stages: recruitment, where volunteers are attracted; onboarding, where they are trained and integrated; management, which involves ongoing support and communication; recognition, to acknowledge their contributions; and retention, aimed at keeping them involved over time. By following this lifecycle, organizations can enhance volunteer satisfaction, ensure meaningful experiences, and ultimately strengthen their mission through dedicated support from volunteers.
