FREE** Peer Learning Workshop: Streamlining Volunteer Recruitment and Improving Retention

FREE* Peer Learning Workshop: Streamlining Volunteer Recruitment and Improving Retention, Wednesday 24th June 2026, 10.30am - 12.30pm, on Zoom
.
How can your organisation make it easier for volunteers to apply, stay engaged and continue beyond their initial commitment?
.
In this practical peer learning session, Muhib Miah, Volunteer Coordinator at Literacy Pirates, will share the organisation’s journey to improving volunteer recruitment and retention. We will hear how Literacy Pirates streamlined processes and reduced barriers in the volunteer journey, used data to inform decision-making, strengthened communication and recognition, and continually adapted and improved the volunteer experience over time.
.
Muhib will share practical learning, successes and ongoing challenges from this work, followed by group discussions giving participants the opportunity to exchange ideas with other local volunteer managers and reflect on their own organisation’s volunteer management practices.
