The three-hour session on Motivating and Retaining Volunteers is a great follow-up to Recruiting Volunteers. It includes exercises to identify motivations and demotivations, as well as practical activities for recognizing and addressing demotivation. Additionally, the pack provides an exercise for creating an action plan to recognize and reward volunteers.
