Project Overview
Help our nonprofit build long-term sustainability by investing in our people! We are looking for an HR volunteer who can brainstorm volunteer retention tactics alongside our team.
Activities of this project may include:
-Leading a collaborative brainstorming process around retention tactics
-Distilling ideas from brainstorming activities into a prioritized list of recommendations
-Advising our team on best practices for implementing the recommended retention tactics
We estimate that this pro bono project will take from 4-6 weeks to complete and use (on average) 2-4 hours of volunteer time per week.
As a growing nonprofit, ensuring the sustainability of our volunteer base is crucial to achieving our mission of uplifting underserved students through encouraging handwritten notes. That's why developing effective volunteer retention strategies is a top priority for Post It Love at this critical stage in our organization's development. By investing in this project now, we can build a strong foundation for long-term growth and impact. With a dedicated, committed volunteer community, we'll be able to create and deliver more heartfelt notes to students who need them most, reminding them of their worth and potential. Implementing targeted retention tactics will help us foster a passionate, engaged volunteer base that shares our vision for empowering youth and creating lasting change.
For skilled HR professionals, this project offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference while honing their expertise. By collaborating with our team to brainstorm, prioritize, and implement retention strategies, volunteers will gain valuable insight into nonprofit management challenges and enhance their experience in strategic planning. The time invested in this project will yield significant returns, not only in terms of increased organizational sustainability and impact but also in the personal fulfillment that comes from contributing to a mission-driven cause.
Our nonprofit has compiled a list of staff and volunteer retention tactics that we've tried in the past, as well as new ideas that we'd like a volunteer's insight on. We will come to this pro bono project ready to share details about our staff members and volunteers so that you can get to know our stakeholders. We will also be prepared to share our current staff compensation package.
Implementing retention tactics generated during this project is a top priority for our team. Our work can't happen without our amazing people! We need your expertise on where to start and which ideas could have the biggest payoff.
Nonprofit Overview
To foster a positive and supportive environment that nurtures the emotional health and academic success of students.
Our weekly handwritten notes serve as reminders to students that they are cared for and capable of overcoming any obstacle. Research shows positive affirmation can profoundly impact young minds, nurturing perseverance, and resilience. While many nonprofits focus solely on financial assistance, Post It Love recognizes the equal importance of emotional support. By bridging this gap, we empower students to reach their full potential.
Our comprehensive approach is founded on the belief that when a child feels seen, heard, and uplifted, they unlock the drive and determination to create a promising future. We envision learning environments where every student, regardless of background, has the tools, love and encouragement they need to flourish. With your support, we can continue uplifting underserved youth and inspiring the leaders of tomorrow. Join us in bringing Post It Love to students nationwide.
