This webinar looked at the current economic climate, its effect on increased need for social services and the impact on specific communities. During this session participants tackled some common assumptions about responses to tough times to see if they hold a silver lining. As a group they discussed creative ways to utilize new and returning volunteers to maximize their impact, as times get even tighter. Lastly, key aspects of a good volunteer program were reviewed, recognizing that the tenets of good volunteer management don't change when things get difficult; they become even more important.
