VM Snark

Trying to get staff buy-in for volunteer engagement at your organization. #VolunteerManagement

If you're curious about their work, I encourage you to check them out at volunteeralive.org. I look forward to seeing what they do with VM Snark and plan to contribute in the future!

If you're not familiar with AL!VE, they're a US-based membership organization for leaders of volunteers. I became a member a couple of years ago and admire their mission to further the professionalism of our field.

@JDTennille But really, thank you!! So far at least 1 person is interested in keeping it running so I'll probably be handing it off to someone new.

@VMsnark Noooo! 😭😭😭 This account is happy relief from daily VM issues!

If you're interested, please get in touch! Otherwise I'll be closing things down in January. Hope all is well wherever you are in the world!

Went to my neighborhood block party and talked up my organization's youth volunteer program to parents... even though their kids won't be old enough to volunteer for a year or two. #VolMgmt #LoVols

@emmadhodges Ugh. #WeUseThingsNotPeople

"Volunteers are the lifeblood" should be on a volunteer awards bingo board... what else belongs on the board? #VolMgmt #LoVols
