What Is This Class All About?
People volunteer for many things and for many reasons. Sometimes we volunteer because our child plays a certain sport or is involved in a certain club. Sometimes we volunteer because we believe in a certain cause or company. While the “why people volunteer” is an important topic in this class I want to look at the five reasons “why people stop volunteering.”
Yes, many times people get involved in a cause because they want to. While that’s true volunteers usually stay with the cause because of the leader they serve with. It’s the leaders passion, direction and mission that makes the difference.
When all is said and done there are some people who will walk away from volunteer leadership simply because of how you lead or, how you don’t. In this course you will learn the five reasons why people won’t volunteer for you and what to do about it.
