Chicagoland Cultural Volunteer Programs

[TangerineShark @TangerineShark]

What would your organization look like without #volunteers? Could you get by for a day? A week? What would change? What wouldn't happen? @Chi_CVP

[ChiCVP @Chi_CVP]

Does your organization have a social media branch? Can they share out about your volunteers, include them in images, etc.?

[ChiCVP @Chi_CVP]

What are some ways you welcome #volunteers to your organization? How do you keep them feeling welcomed day after day, year after year? #volunteering

[ChiCVP @Chi_CVP]

Need photos to use in recognizing your #volunteers? Have volunteers and their supervisors take them! You'll get way more volume, quality, and diversity of volunteer roles than you could ever get yourself.

[ChiCVP @Chi_CVP]

Not sure how to start creating a volunteer leadership role? Ask your volunteers! There's probably someone who is itching to have more responsibilities and do more for your mission.

[ChiCVP @Chi_CVP]

Volunteer leadership roles keep coming up as ways to get volunteers more involved, help spread your inclusivity mission, and create powerful advocates.

[ChiCVP @Chi_CVP]

Enthusiasm is contagious! Your volunteers can be incredible ambassadors for your volunteer program!

[ChiCVP @Chi_CVP]

Want to expand diversity and inclusion in your volunteer program? Find a lead who is *really* invested in the mission and empower them to lead the charge!

[ChiCVP @Chi_CVP]

We've got awesome speakers today who work with volunteers around Chicagoland, including (left to right) @heartofmercy, @lincolnparkzoo, and @HoneycombCHI!

[ChiCVP @Chi_CVP]

CCVP is at @msichicago today, and we're talking about expanding diversity and inclusion in our volunteer programs! #volunteers
