Why do People Volunteer? Because they were asked Because they or their family are involved To develop or gain skills, qualifications or experience As a way to network for new careers or jobs To meet new people to develop new social networks

What Motivates Volunteers? Making a difference. Recognition Communication Social Personal development A sense of duty

Why do people become demotivated? Recognition Personal development Communication Management Social -

Retaining Volunteers The key to retaining volunteers is to make sure they are getting their particular complex of motivational needs met through their volunteer experience. If the volunteer experience makes the volunteers feel good, then they will continue to want to volunteer. A good environment is one which bolsters the volunteers self-esteem. When the work experience boosts a persons self esteem, that person feels good about the job looks forward to participating.
