It’s About People Work Not Paperwork: Using Psychology to Boost Volunteer Involvement
The world is evolving and volunteers with it. Today’s volunteers have diverse lifestyles, preferences, and needs that must be accounted for when developing volunteer programming and fine-tuning your personal leadership approach. That said, one thing remains constant – the key psychological processes that drive human behavior. New discoveries in brain science, psychology and human behavior are disrupting business as usual and creating new opportunities to connect, collaborate, and mobilize volunteers for the greater good. Why is it important to understand how the brain works? Because our brains determine everything we do. By better understanding what triggers humans to act, volunteer managers can become better influencers and, ultimately, better leaders.

Getting Strategic about Advancing Your Volunteer Program
Volunteer managers understand the power of their programs to meet and expand a nonprofit’s capacity. Next to fundraising, a well-run volunteer program is an organization’s greatest resource in meeting its mission. Then why is it that many nonprofits do not recognize volunteers at the highest levels of their organizations and include volunteer engagement in their strategic plans – even if they currently operate a volunteer program? It could be that we need to expand our visibility as leaders within our nonprofits and hone our skills as advocates. This session will cover just how to educate our leadership about the tremendous value of volunteer programs, as well as how to earn a more influential seat at the decision-making table. Learn how to position your program strategically to achieve the greatest impact.
