Next Session Will Start January 2025!

Our 8-Week “Done With You” Coaching Program

This intensive is the ONLY program of its kind that teaches you the underlying strategies behind every volunteer recruitment technique AND how to implement a meticulous, step-by-step plan to carry your vision forward … way more than a passive learning course!

Attract Today’s Volunteers with Today’s Strategies

Get The COMPLETE A-Z Blueprint You Need…

To create and implement a strategic volunteer recruitment plan that will bring in engaged, enthusiastic volunteers who want to stay and help your organization meet its mission.  

By using today’s tactics, you’ll experience the benefits of expanding your audience beyond what you ever dreamed possible and reach a whole new generation of volunteers (and donors) who can’t wait to help you succeed. 

The End Result For Your Program…

An incredibly effective system that will kick start your volunteer recruitment results and will be easily repeatable to be deployed over and over again as you grow volunteer engagement at your nonprofit. 

  • If you’ve ever been frustrated by training that’s full of vague “fluff” and conjecture about what might work, you’ll appreciate our focus on research-based strategies and my own years in the trenches as a volunteer manager and digital marketer. This program is designed to help you get results a lot faster.  

  • To truly go big, everyone needs a coach, mentor, or guide who’s already been there. But most nonprofits don’t have the funds to hire out expensive coaches. With our weekly group Q&A coaching calls, students get direct access to me and my direct, no-holds-barred pep talks that students appreciate.

  • Each week,  get proven plans of attack and time-saving worksheets, cheat sheets, and templates to quickly convert learning into action. This isn’t just a “one and done” training. You have lifetime access, so you can come back over and over again as you build and refine each future recruitment campaign.

  • Within the program, you’ll have a place to ask questions and post comments about what you’re learning. I check in regularly so, every question gets a response. My personal mission is to inspire every student to trade frustration for motivation and start living up to the potential on the other side of doubt and fear. 

What You Can Expect From The Program…

As a valued VolunteerPro student, you get LIFETIME access to the content (and any future updates!), and you can expect a deep dive into specific recruitment strategies that separate highly-successful volunteer programs from the rest.

FAQ 

What Our Most Successful Students Ask Before Joining the Program…

If you’ve ever been frustrated by training that’s full of vague “fluff” and conjecture about what might work, you’ll appreciate our focus on research-based strategies and my 30 years of practical “roll up your sleeves” experience in the trenches as a nonprofit professional and leader.

Also, we keep up to date on the evolving academic research. What’s even better – we cite it in our training slides so you can dive deeper if you want.

I believe this is the BEST training on the market (and the ONLY of its kind), hands down.

That’s why I guarantee it.

If you rely on volunteers to meet your mission, meaning you can’t survive and thrive without them, then improving how you attract them makes sense. Volunteer recruitment is an issue across the sector, but you can take proactive steps to make your nonprofit the “go to” destination for volunteers in your area.

Plus, volunteers are donors, so agencies that invest in volunteer program development reap double the rewards. My consulting clients pay tens of thousands of dollars to learn our secrets to success. You can do so at a fraction of the cost by enrolling today.

Maybe your boss is recommending you figure out on your own what’s working for today’s volunteer recruitment. Let’s face it, it takes a TON of time to research and find examples that you’re not even sure will even work. And, even when you try things, there are no guarantees.

So, stop spinning your wheels. We’ve got years of digital marketing experience under our belts and can save you time by showing you the way.

My “done with you” step-by-step training, tools, and coaching will help you scale more rapidly, rather than hunting and pecking for systems that might work and “tips and tricks” from people with little or no expertise.

You have two choices. 1) go without and keep struggling OR 2) invest in the next best thing to hiring a high-priced consultant or marketing firm: expert training and systems that can get your agency traction. We like option #2 for you!

Each weekly module contains 3-6 short instructional videos and at least one downloadable support PDF.  You’ll also get the slides so you can take notes as you go.

You can watch each video at your own pace, and the platform will keep track of what you’ve completed, so you can go back to where you ended at any time.  Plan to spend about 2-3 hours each week reviewing the course videos and materials and taking action and then another hour joining me live, or watching the replay, of the coaching call.  If you put in the work, you will make progress!

I’m not going to lie. In order to build a volunteer recruitment system to get the kind of traction your organization is seeking, you will need to put in some hard work. It will also mean you’ll have to get out of your comfort zone. But, I believe in you and will be there at every step of the way to answer questions and keep you moving forward.

And, you can use the systems, templates, and plans in this program “right out of the box,” which will save you time. Plus, you can return again, and again, and again to to refresh your memory as you build out your new system.

The Volunteer Recruitment BoostCamp is Perfect for You if …
