Interested in designing solutions for your organization?

Through its consultation program, Volunteer Halton works one-on-one with local nonprofit organizations to enhance and strengthen their volunteer programs and build capacity for effective volunteer involvement. Consultations are customized to meet the needs of the organization and typically include the following:

  • Working closely with the nonprofit organization to develop and customize the consultation and assessment tools
  • Review of operational documents of the organization
  • Interviews with key individuals within the organization
  • Collection, collation and analysis of data
  • Creation of summary report and recommendations to assist the organization in developing strategies to effectively involve volunteers
  • Review meeting with organization to share key findings & recommendations.

Consultations vary depending on the needs of the organization. Volunteer Halton is able to provide consultative services to nonprofit organizations on areas such as:

  • Developing Policies and Procedures for Volunteer Involvement
  • Volunteer Program Assessments
  • Strategic Planning and Positioning of Volunteer Programs
  • Developing Targeted Recruitment Plans
  • Volunteer Job Design and Position Descriptions
  • Developing Training and Orientation plans and strategies for your volunteer program
  • Recognition plans and strategies for your volunteer program

The proposed project fee is based on the time, resources and expertise required to complete the Volunteer Involvement Assessment.
