Module 4: Intersectionality of Human Resources and Volunteer Management
Reflect and Record
A key part of learning is reflecting on and recording your progress. Below you will see three (3) reflection questions to get you thinking. After taking some time to consider, complete the reflection activity below. In this activity, you will be able to gather, record, and export your thoughts to keep track of your learning progress. We encourage you to use this tool as a means of gauging both your personal and professional development.
Reflection activity
- Thinking of your own volunteering experience and/or organizational context, what are some of the most meaningful ways to create a culture in which volunteers are valued and retained?
- Within your organization, how closely does the ‘roadmap’ of a volunteer align with that of an employee? (Is the same attention given to the onboarding and retention practices for both groups?)
- What does your organization do to manage the risks inherent in volunteering roles? How can these risks be further minimized within existing position descriptions and/or volunteer training practices?
