Building Blocks for Effective Programs

The key components of effective service and volunteer programs

Organizational Culture

Volunteers or members are more likely to stay if the climate in which they find themselves is supportive of their efforts. This won't happen without proactive involvement on the part of program managers and staff. Assuring a strong organizational culture involves developing and communicating the organization's mission, policies, and procedures; embracing diversity; and fostering good relations between employees, volunteers, and clients.
