‣ (A)ttracting volunteers

They are:
- Interactive Programme Assessment & Strategy Companion (iPASC)
This tool can be used to (i) gauge the current state of development of your organization’s strategic volunteer partnerships capabilities and (ii) to determine the development roadmap in further enhancing strategic volunteer partnerships in your organization especially in the Post-COVID-19 world. This is the enhanced version of the “Strategic Volunteer Partnerships Development Roadmap” and supersedes it. - Volunteer Engagement Crisis Response Plan
This toolkit provides some guidelines for consideration when developing a plan for volunteer engagement during such crises e.g. disease outbreaks etc - 12-S Model for COVID-19 Safe Management
This 1-page infographic presents 12 proposed guidelines for COVID-19 Safe Management for volunteer programmes.
