Recruiting, managing and motivating volunteers can be one of the biggest challenges community groups face. Yet when it’s done well, it’s also one of the most rewarding — because a strong volunteer team doesn’t just lighten the load, it multiplies your impact.
So how do you build that kind of team?
In a previous career, Phil worked as a business team, executive and leadership coach. Today, he leads a successful predator free project and works alongside community groups and agencies across Aotearoa. He brings practical experience, real-world lessons and a deep understanding of what makes volunteer teams thrive.
This is a genuine “don’t miss” session for group leaders and coordinators working with volunteers.
Phil will cover topics including:
- Finding and attracting the right people
- What makes a successful Predator Free group?
- The role and value of a coordinator team
- Processes that actually work — and why they matter
- Supporting and retaining volunteers
- And much more
