The Basics
The LLI Volunteer Coordinator uses many tech tools to recruit and manage volunteers, such as:
- ProClass for identifying volunteer candidates among the membership;
- Email blasts (with MailChimp) to publicize different LLI volunteer needs;
- WordPress Volunteer plugin to advertise open positions on the website;
- Google Forms to recruit volunteers;
- Google Shared Drives to store and retrieve drafts of materials;
- Google Docs and Google Sheets for communication and data manipulation.
It would be helpful if a tech support person could help the coordinator on some of these technical tasks, as well as develop other processes that could be valuable in recruiting and retaining volunteers.
