Since Covid, volunteer activity has dropped. That’s why building an encouraging culture is more important than ever. An encouraging culture shows appreciation and reminds volunteers how valuable they are.
Volunteers play an important role in hard times. That’s why volunteers are so essential. You need to understand what volunteers want to attract and retain them.
