Why Do We Need Volunteers?

Volunteer Management Program

Who is a Volunteer?

A Volunteer is someone who gives of herself/himself in service to a cause. Therefore, to Volunteer is to give of yourself in service for a cause or to act on behalf of someone else or an organization for a particular cause.

Volunteering is done by people who desire to do good. For you as an individual, volunteering allows you connect to your community and make it a better place for all.

Caring Hearts Initiative currently have over 24 volunteers working with us from Lagos – Nigeria.

For Community Outreach
This is important because, they are part of the community and they know how best to reach them to get a positive response.
To Provide Community Monitoring
The Volunteers live in the community so this wiIl be easy to handle as they don’t need to travel far.
To Save Cost
This is an advantage for the organization
For Community Input

The Volunteers will be in a better position to get the needed positive response from fellow dwellers.

To Gain Additional Expertise

This comes to play in the aspect of language barrier or culture difference

To Supplement Staff Resources & Expertise

This is also an advantage for the organization.

To Personalise Service Delivery
This is because they are the face of the organisation that people see and talk to and also receive feedback from.

This happens when we have Volunteers from the community we serve.
