After participating in this online training, you will be able to implement strategies that improve tracking and overall experience for your young alumni volunteers.
Join us online to learn how Lehigh University is increasing the effectiveness of their young alumni volunteer program and take away strategies to better engage this critical audience, and cultivate generations of future givers. Our speaker, Shannon Jaeger, will cover these 4 key areas:
- Tracking strategies for progress and behavior
- Motivating and engaging volunteers on their level
- Aligning volunteer goals with advancement priorities
- Recognizing volunteers and sharing the impact of their efforts
These strategies have improved involvement, retention, and giving habits amongst Lehigh’s young alumni. While the core examples will focus on this audience, many of the strategies and methods could also be relevant to other volunteer groups you work with and manage.
