Avoiding abuse, injuries, fraud and other types of risky situations to protect the volunteers, members, participants and everyone else involved in your group must be made a top priority. And risk management starts with careful planning.
People make decisions on a daily basis. Often these decisions have a small impact on their daily routine; in other cases, they have a huge impact on many people.
Does your organization have difficulty recruiting new volunteers? It may be more than a lack of willing volunteers. It may be time to take a closer look at how your organization works.
The kind of experience a new member has with your group is more important than you might realize. If people don’t feel welcome or needed, their interest and enthusiasm will disappear and your group has just lost a valuable resource!
