Volunteer Appreciation month is coming up in April. As I was brainstorming ideas of how to thank our volunteers this year I thought, “Why not ask volunteers how they would like to be thanked?” We want to make sure our volunteers know how much we value their time and hard work. I know I sound like a broken record, but without our volunteers, our programs could not reach the 2,622 girls we served last year. By nature, our volunteers are all busy people, so I’m even more impressed that they still find the time to help inspire girls to do great things. This is my first year thanking our volunteers during Volunteer Appreciation month so I want to do it right!
This is a shout out to current and former volunteers, volunteers at other organizations, and our readers who have out-of-the-box ideas about how we can demonstrate our appreciation. What can we do to show our volunteers their value and impact on our community? How would you like to be thanked for your service? How have you felt appreciated by organizations in the past?
