Volunteer Recruitment and Retention Training 102

The Philadelphia Food Access Collaborative invites you to a Volunteer Recruitment and Retention training on Tuesday, January 21st from 5:30-7:00pm at the Municipal Service Building (1401 JFK Blvd.), 16th Floor, Room E. Nancy Sutter, Non-Profit and Volunteer Administration Professor at Chestnut Hill College and Montgomery Community College, will be leading the training. The goal of this training is to provide support to meal site and food pantry providers interested in developing valuable and lasting partnerships with volunteers. The training will cover strategies to recruit volunteers such as creating a marketing message and advertising the opportunity online and in the community.  In addition, it will cover best practices to manage and retain volunteers.   
Please come prepared with a photo ID to obtain a visitors pass for the building. MSB is most accessible by public transportation, although there are a few parking garages within walking distance as well.
