Increasing Your Use of Volunteers Step-by-step tips and tools.
Create structure and supervision  for a successful volunteer program & build it one step at a time. “ Establish a  budget  for the volunteer program that reflects the real costs associated with its operation.. … including items such as copying and printing, advertising, events, recognition and appreciation, technology tools like databases or websites for recruiting, and ongoing training for the volunteer manager.  The return on investment in terms of hours of service and quality of care for the animals, as well as the benefits to the public, will be well worth the effort, and most volunteer programs really can be run on a relatively small budget.”  –  Megan Webb Community outreach program director  Oakland Animal Services, California
