Thinking about whether you should measure your impact on volunteers? Stop. Chances are the work's already been done for you. There's already a wealth of evidence that there is a positive association for non-disabled adults between formal volunteering and - improved life satisfaction - increased happiness - reduced symptoms of depression Instead spend your time exploring if your volunteers find your roles to be - balanced, not overburdening them and options to change commitment - meaningful, linked to what they want from their roles - connected, with opportunities to meet, build relationships and belong - appreciated, through training, support and gratitude These are the key 'mechanisms of change' that can help to explain whether volunteers experience the above benefits or not when volunteering, so focus on whether people feel this way and use the evidence base build your case for impact instead.

Tuesday Tip: Volunteering vs. Timebanking #Volunteering is typically an unpaid role that fills an unmet, need of a nonprofit. The nonprofit defines the roles, the tasks, number of hours, duration of assignments, etc. #Timebanking is an opportunity for the individual to define the work they want to do, when they do it, how they do it, and how long they offer to do it. Moreover, they receive time currency equal to the number of hours worked, and that time currency can be used to purchase services and goods that meet their needs. If you're operating a nonprofit that needs #volunteers, consider timebanking your unpaid volunteers. It is the socially just thing to do. Also, your organization is more likely to attract a diversity of volunteers, one that reflects the population it serves--and that is socially meaningful. #timecurrency #winwinwin #respect #redefine #workforcedevelopment #volunteermanagement #volunteerwork #voluntarysector #voluntariado #nonprofit #nonprofitleadership #philanthropy
