Workshop Summary:
As you plan your strategy, make space for a workshop that will elevate not only how you engage volunteers, but how to strategically design their entire experience.
Join us on November 10th for a dynamic, hands-on session led by Angela Williamson: “Welcome Home, Volunteers: Strategically Building Belonging.” This workshop invites you to think both like an architect and a strategist by intentionally building a volunteer engagement structure that is welcoming, effective, and aligned with your mission, and inspires, supports, and sustains your volunteers, and you.
Because thriving volunteer programs aren’t accidental, they’re built through thoughtful planning and design, and volunteer engagement works best when people feel welcomed, prepared, and clear on their impact.
In this interactive session, you’ll move beyond theory and into action. You’ll assess your current volunteer engagement approach, identify strengths and gaps, and begin creating a strategic plan to strengthen your program from the ground up. From establishing a strong foundation of clarity to designing systems that foster belonging and retention, you’ll walk away with both insight and direction.
Participants will be able to:
- Identify strengths and gaps in current engagement
- Understand how clarity and belonging support retention
- Apply practical ideas immediately
This isn’t a sit-and-listen session, it’s a hands-on opportunity to think critically, plan intentionally, and build something sustainable that you can take back to your organization right away. Bring your laptop, your questions, and your creativity.
