Alumni volunteers are immensely valuable to institutions in both their service and giving power— they tend to give 10 times more than non-volunteers. However, since the pandemic, the script has flipped on how we recruit and engage alumni volunteers through digital channels. In-person volunteer opportunities continue to foster alumni engagement, but with digital opportunities growing increasingly common as well, we must continue to learn best practices from one another to remain successful.

In this virtual training, our expert panelists will guide you as you share your own lessons when digitally engaging your alumni volunteers. Together, we will identify emerging best practices regarding volunteer recruitment, training, and engagement that lead to the retention of your most dedicated alumni. You will leave this training with the best current practices to engage your volunteers — during this pandemic, and beyond.

In this updated edition, a Q&A with the speakers, Clarybel Peguero and Parks Smith, has been added to the recording.

How It Works:

If you missed the event when it took place in March of 2023 or you have been meaning to engage with the on-demand training, this is your chance to watch it together with higher ed colleagues from across the country. Additional resources from Academic Impressions will be provided during the training so that you can further your learning. Mark your calendar now to set aside this time for yourself.
