Recruit 

The volunteer recruitment process begins with identifying program needs that volunteers can fulfill and ends with placing a new volunteer in a position that best suits their skills and interests and best meets the needs of the SHIP program. 

Along the way, it is helpful to know -

  • How to create a solid foundation for a volunteer program, 
  • How to target volunteers and use appealing recruitment messages,
  • How to market the SHIP opportunity to potential volunteers, and
  • How to deliberately select the right volunteer for the right role, so they will have an enjoyable, productive, and long-lasting relationship with your SHIP program.

HAP’s recruitment toolkit is designed support you throughout this process.
