Non-Profit Solutions
Do your paid professionals know what your volunteers do? It may seem like an obvious question but in our experience it is anything but. There are a few, all volunteer organizations out there but most have some paid, professional staff that recruit and manage volunteers to accomplish the goals of the organization. Far too often this results in what seems like two separate organizations and that makes it tough to achieve the same goals. If you are one of the paid professionals ask yourself; Do you feel like your efforts with your volunteers hinder doing your job? If you are a volunteer, do you feel treated like you are part of the solution or something to be put up with?
To recruit and retain volunteers you have to make good use of the ones you have. We have practical solutions for that. Too often non-profits slip into focusing on the mission statement rather than completing the mission. If your professional staff have different goals than your volunteer staff (yes, they really are staff), then you are wasting everyone's skills.
We have worked with housing agencies, crisis centers, band boosters, and more. Whatever your particular problem, we have the experienced team that can find a practical solution just right for you.

If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay you to do it?
