1 Why recognition matters

Recognizing and appreciating your partner organizations and their volunteers is not only a polite and ethical thing to do but also a strategic and effective way to enhance your volunteer program. By acknowledging their contributions, you can demonstrate your value and impact, build trust and rapport, motivate and retain them, and create opportunities for feedback and improvement. Recognition can also help you differentiate your program from other similar ones and attract new partners and volunteers who share your vision and goals.

Sharing is caring! As a nonprofit leader, I always look for ways to recognize individuals and partner organizations as much as possible. We should be able to embrace and celebrate one’s successes. For me, I always look for events that provide experiences for our partners as a token of appreciation for their support and investment to my organization and the community at large.

3 How to recognize their volunteers

Recognizing the volunteers of your partner organizations is essential, as they are responsible for delivering the services, activities, or outcomes of your program. To show appreciation for their efforts, it's important to welcome them warmly and orient them to your program, policies, and expectations. Additionally, provide them with adequate training and supervision to ensure their safety and well-being. Celebrating their milestones, achievements, or birthdays is also a great way to acknowledge their hard work and impact. Furthermore, solicit their feedback, suggestions, or ideas and involve them in decision-making or planning processes. Encourage their growth and development by offering them opportunities for advancement or recognition. Lastly, connecting them with other volunteers, staff, or stakeholders can foster a sense of community and belonging.

We love to build a strong and robust volunteer list - community, connection, and meaningful opportunities matter immensely to the LGBTQ2SIA+ community! In the past couple of years, we've begun separating out volunteer roles and opportunities to pay queer and trans folks for their labor, specifically when we're asking them to lend training support or sharing parts of their story that feel hard or complicated. Yes, volunteers are incredible and important. ALSO, it's important to remember and recognize that many folks from marginalized communities have been doing unpaid labor for years in the form of educating the masses.
