1 Know your volunteers

The first step to recognizing and rewarding your volunteers is to know them as individuals. What are their motivations, interests, goals, and preferences? How do they like to be acknowledged and thanked? Some volunteers may prefer public recognition, such as certificates, awards, or shout-outs on social media. Others may appreciate more personal gestures, such as handwritten notes, phone calls, or feedback sessions. The key is to tailor your recognition and rewards to suit your volunteers' personalities and needs.

Each year we have an annual breakfast where we recognize our "Volunteers of the Year." I think everyone of them has had tears in their eyes as they receive their award. Although we love to do this public recognition, I believe it is equally important to recognize and thank volunteers every time they are at the organization volunteering their time and their talent.

2 Celebrate milestones and achievements

Another way to show your volunteers that their contributions matter is to celebrate their milestones and achievements. This could be based on the number of hours they have volunteered, the impact they have made, or the skills they have learned or improved. You can track and measure these indicators using tools such as spreadsheets, surveys, or online platforms. You can also create a system of badges, points, or levels to gamify the volunteer experience and motivate your volunteers to reach their goals.

3 Provide opportunities for growth and learning

Volunteers are not only giving, but also receiving. They want to learn new things, develop new skills, and expand their network. As a volunteer manager, you can provide opportunities for growth and learning for your volunteers. This could include offering training sessions, workshops, webinars, or mentoring programs. You can also invite your volunteers to share their expertise, insights, or stories with others. By doing so, you are not only rewarding your volunteers, but also enhancing their value and potential.

4 Involve them in decision-making and feedback

Volunteers are not just helpers, but also partners. They have a stake in the mission, vision, and goals of your organization or project. As a volunteer manager, you can involve them in decision-making and feedback processes. This could include asking for their opinions, suggestions, or ideas on how to improve or innovate your work. You can also create a culture of feedback, where you give and receive constructive and honest feedback with your volunteers. By doing so, you are not only recognizing your volunteers, but also empowering them and building trust.

5 Create a sense of community and belonging

Volunteers are not just individuals, but also members of a team. They want to feel connected, supported, and valued by their peers and leaders. As a volunteer manager, you can create a sense of community and belonging for your volunteers. This could include organizing social events, team-building activities, or online forums. You can also encourage your volunteers to interact, collaborate, and celebrate with each other. By doing so, you are not only rewarding your volunteers, but also fostering a positive and inclusive volunteer culture.
