The State of Volunteer Management
For the second year in a row VolunteerPro has published the global report Volunteer Management Progress. The report helps gauge trends like job satisfaction, average salaries, industry demographics, and more.
The report also confirms what we already knew: volunteer managers really love their work.
With that said, the report also uncovered some unnerving findings — like a lack of diversity in the field.
Learn more by downloading the report and watch the recording of a webinar detailing the report findings.
What Does The Survey Cover?
The goal of this “state of the industry” survey is to paint a better picture of today’s volunteer management professionals while taking into account their organizational characteristics, resources, location, etc.
We all need this information to be better advocates.
- Volunteer resource managers can benefit from seeing how their colleagues rate their own priorities, challenges, and opportunities.
- Volunteer-led organizations need clear benchmarks to help them make meaningful comparisons and informed decisions about their volunteer engagement.
- Nonprofit consultants, trainers, and capacity builders need to know which are the greatest needs for our field.
- And, we need this information updated every year. We plan to conduct this survey each year so that we can begin to track emerging trends in our field.
