AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
  • Define “underserved community” based on the specific area your agency serves
  • Discuss the role of volunteers in community outreach as well as specific and guided marketing efforts
  • Understand and utilize “virtual community outreach volunteers”
  • List five ways volunteers can serve as community ambassadors and assist with marketing goals and forming connections

 

WEBINAR DETAILS

So much potential for diversity is present within our existing volunteer workforce and local communities. Don’t be afraid to ask about it or risk overlooking this opportunity. It is likely that your volunteers are either members of underserved communities or have vital connections to these areas and populations. This webinar will explore methods to access them and teach you how to recruit and utilize volunteers who can help make important connections to improve accessibility and coverage. It will look at programming to expand the services your agency already provides and improve overall marketing efforts as well as review recruitment polices that are unreasonably risk averse.

THIS WEBINAR WILL BENEFIT THE FOLLOWING AGENCIES:

  • Hospice
