Toolkit for Working with Rural Volunteers

http://www.ruralvolunteer.org/

Learn new ways to work with rural volunteers while being guided through
the larger process of really bringing volunteers into an organization
and keeping them there—with the least amount of time, people and money.

Based on our experience working in hundreds of rural communities with
thousands of volunteers, it is clear that volunteers are necessary to
the survival of organizations striving to improve their community and
environment. It was also clear that very few tools were available to
help organizations overcome the unique challenges of recruiting,
managing, and retaining rural volunteers.

The Toolkit for Working with Rural Volunteers is the result of the
OSM/VISTA Teams' pioneering three-year research project on rural
volunteerism throughout Appalachia and the Rocky Mountain West with
funding from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Wetlands,
Oceans, and Watersheds. After engaging in place-based research in 34
rural communities, we created the Toolkit to share approaches to
volunteer recruitment, management and retention that are successful in
rural settings. More importantly, it contains one-of-a-kind tools needed
by rural organizations to build sustainable volunteer management
infrastructure.
