It’s important to have a clear picture of your organization before you recruit volunteers.  What is the culture and work environment of your organization:

• stable and secure or uncertain future
• results-driven or value-oriented

Knowing these characteristics will make it much easier to recruit and retain volunteers who are a good match for your organization.
