Giving back to society is a prestigious opportunity to contribute to the welfare of others who are in need. There are a host of options out there that you can utilize to donate to charity. You may also choose to start your volunteer program and manage it well to attend to a given cause. When creating a volunteer program, it is essential to focus on four important areas.
Creating a Mission Statement
A well-crafted mission statement should guide each volunteer program. A good mission statement should answer specific questions, including the program’s objective, the planning and coordination of the volunteer program, and its name. The mission statement should be well-crafted as it serves as the face of the entire charity program.
Setting Program Goals
When starting a volunteer program, your goals should be well articulated. You may want to use the SMART criteria to ensure that the goals are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-based. To ensure that the process is thorough enough, you may have to engage your volunteer coordinators, stakeholders, and staff members to brainstorm the appropriate goals.
