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.
