Volunteers are the lifeblood of any small, non-profit organization with limited staff.
The Homestead seeks to preserve and maintain the only historic site centered on the life and career of Vermont s founder. Once the system is in place, the consultant will assist the Homestead in finding new ways to increase volunteer capabilities and make the volunteer experience at the Homestead more enriching. With a smoothly running system in place, the Homestead hopes to improve volunteer retention and attract new community members into service. A long-term goal is to diversify its base of volunteers, which in time will help the museum reach new audiences. An enhanced volunteer program will also allow Dr. Bryan to use his time more proactively in developing new educational programming.
