Volunteer Program Development

In a 2007 survey of SHIP Directors, more than two-thirds (68%) identified “Volunteer Program Development” as a topic they could use additional information and training resources. HAP is committed to helping SHIPs develop or expand volunteer programs as one way to effectively serve more Medicare beneficiaries and caregivers. We offer practical tools and information in three main areas.

• Recruit: How do I find and select the right volunteers for my SHIP?
  
• Orient & Train: How do I equip volunteers with the knowledge and skills needed to fulfill their roles?
  
• Manage: How do I keep volunteers engaged in their work and sustain the program?

Please contact the Volunteer Program Development team at SHIPhelp@hapnetwork.org for more information.
