Increase Volunteer Commitment

When it comes to increasing volunteer commitment, there are no shortcuts.  Take each of these leadership priorities seriously and experience the satisfaction of greater volunteer commitment!

In addition to providing a clear ministry description to every volunteer, MAPPINGS encourages leaders of volunteers to have meaningful conservations with every volunteer, over the course of each month, that includes:
 
  • How their service furthers the organization's mission
  • Why they are the right person for this opportunity
  • Reasons they should be encouraged
  • How you see them growing in their faith
  • How you are praying for them
  • What you appreciate about their personality
  • Why their service matters to God
  • Where they can find help when needed
 
When leaders consistently do this well, volunteers are more likely to grow spiritually, strive for greater effectiveness, and enjoy their ministry.

Develop Great Volunteer Leaders

MAPPINGS will help your staff become great leaders of volunteers!  The  vast majority of leaders of volunteers say they need training on how to equip those they lead.  Staff members quickly realize the importance of effective volunteer leadership.

 
So, where do we begin?  How about starting with this question:  As an organization, how much do you "use volunteers to develop a task" (transactional leadership), and how much do you "use a task to develop your volunteers" (transformational leadership)? 
 
Your answer to this simple assessment question reveals your priorities AND serves as a predictor of long-term success with your volunteers.  MAPPINGS, will help you shift your priorities as needed to bring about increased effectiveness, greater satisfaction and significant personal/spiritual growth. 
 
MAPPINGS will help you take your ministry with volunteers to the next level!  Throughout the process, we'll help you better understand...
