Original Broadcast Date: February 6, 2025
Summary: The volunteer management cycle is the best practice model for the lifecycle of volunteer engagement, and for many years has been the foundation of important best practices such as planning, screening, policy development and onboarding and offboarding procedures that volunteer programs follow. It sets the framework of many of our best practices, policies, and procedures. The question is, is it up to date and reflective of the volunteer landscape of today and the ways that we should engage and support volunteers?
