Episode Details

We are pleased to discuss and bring to our audience a new research report from my friends at VolunteerMatch and how we connect hopeful and helpful data from today’s volunteers. In today’s episode, we have Darcy Hughes and Jennifer Bennett. 

Jennifer is the Director of Education & Training joined VolunteerMatch to formalize and manage the organization’s volunteer engagement program. With her breadth of experience, she is well qualified to help VolunteerMatch’s community of nonprofits better recruit and engage volunteers.  

Darcy is the Content & Storytelling Manager, responsible for newsletters for nonprofits and volunteers, conducting surveys, execute marketing and sponsorship campaigns, and their social media, basically all external communications to broader audiences.

We discussed what does their recent research tell us about where volunteers are at as we come out of  nearly three years of a pandemic, some of the key takeaways and what does it tell us about where volunteers are at right now.
