On Wednesday, Ignasi Carreras held a new round table on volunteering, in which representatives of Caritas, Fundación Balia and Red Cross. I was struck an article quoted by Ignatius, The new volunteer workforce, published by Stanford University and volunteering in the U.S..
The article reveals the fact that third of volunteerism in this country does not cooperate with the organization after a year . I wonder what the data here. As remedial measures, the article proposes a number of them who, without being anything new, is well met to prepare a good plan for volunteering:
- Match the skills volunteering with functions that is given.
- actively recognize the work of volunteering (in the U.S. have measured the cost of a volunteer hour, $ 18)
- Measure the impact the work of volunteers
- Investing in training and development
- Training for staff employed who can work and collaborate with volunteers (for me, this is the most important)
- Enter the figure of the advocate of volunteerism (globally yes, but not in an NGO ... I?)
Carlos Foreman, director of Red Cross volunteer, said the challenges that we still have here, which emphasize:
- More Resources for recognize volunteers who are already
- Explore the micro-participation or tele-volunteer
- promote social participation from those already involved
- Expand social participation from the intercultural
- Leading from NGOs the corporate volunteering, and not from the Depts of companies' CSR
