Good practices of volunteering

I, the NGO’s recruiter of volunteers

BEFORE RECRUITING VOLUNTEERS

I GATHER INFORMATION ABOUT ORGANIZING VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES

I familiarize myself with information on managing volunteers and legislation.

I take part in volunteer coordination training.

I DEFINE MY NEEDS

I think about what the goal of my activity is and how to attain it.

I keep in mind that not all types of work can be based on volunteer effort.

I think through the volunteers’ assignments, duration and expenses of activities.

I PLAN THE RECRUITMENT, RETENTION AND RECOGNITION OF VOLUNTEERS

I think about how to find a good match between activities and volunteers.

I consider the risks related to engaging volunteers and means of preventing them.

If necessary, I check the background of the volunteers, notifying the volunteers first that I am conducting a check.

I prepare descriptions of volunteer activity, contracts and other materials.

I think about my options for recognizing volunteers.

DURING THE VOLUNTEER ACTIVITY

I REACH AGREEMENT WITH THE VOLUNTEERS ABOUT THE CONTENT, DURATION, OUTCOME OF THEIR ACTIVITY, COMPENSATION OF EXPNESES AND CESSATION OF ACTIVTY

I proceed from my NGO’s mission and needs and also simultaneously listen to volunteers’ wishes and suggestions.

I agree clearly on volunteers’ area of responsibility and assignments.
