Is your sporting club looking for more volunteers, but finding it hard to recruit and retain them? Explore our strategies on how to recruit the next generation of volunteers.
Since the pandemic, clubs around Australia have struggled to attract and keep volunteers. And, as a nation we currently have the most inexperienced grassroots sports volunteers than ever before.
Quite simply, without an adequate number of volunteers, two things can happen – one; existing volunteers become overloaded with work, and burn out, and two; the club could simply collapse. So, how do you get the volunteers today to help build tomorrow and save your sports club for generations to come?
How do I get more volunteers?
As your starting point, it’s critical you understand why people choose to volunteer, as well as the barriers people face to start volunteering.
Many volunteers know how rewarding the experience is, however, research has found two key barriers that prevent people from walking through your doors:
Practical barriers – people are time poor and do not have enough spare time
Emotional barriers – people feel like they don’t have the right skills for the role
Developing ways to break down these barriers can be the key to ensuring more people walk into your club prepared to volunteer and stick around for the long run.
To unlock more insights into how to knock down these barriers become a member of Sport Community today.
Locked insights also include detailed analysis on how understanding the motivations and deterrents behind volunteering is crucial to developing your volunteer recruitment strategy.
