The Volunteer Center is Looking to Grow Its Board

Join Us!

The Volunteer Center is looking for board members who enjoy working with like-minded people who want to make a difference in our community by giving back to those in need.  We are a working board that also has a lot of fun!

At the heart of our work are the Days of Service we sponsor throughout the year, which encourage volunteers of all ages to get involved.  We also host training and networking events for our 160+ Nonprofit partners.

We’re currently seeking Board members in a variety of different roles, including marketing, communications, fundraising, project management, event planning, and finance and accounting.

Find out more about Board membership here.

For more information, please contact Barb Tubekis at info@VolunteerCenterHelps.org

An Engaged Group of Nonprofits Participated in a Thought-Provoking Workshop on the Challenges of Recruiting and Retaining Volunteers Over Lunch at the Winnetka Community House

Recruiting and retaining great volunteers is a challenge for all Nonprofits today. This lively discussion was a terrific opportunity to learn some current best practices for finding, training, and retaining valuable volunteers. The conversation was lead by Volunteer Center Executive Director Barb Tubekis, Tricia Luzadder of JJ’s List/Search, Inc., and Ann Healing of Breakthrough. In addition to discussing how to maximize the productivity of volunteers — and how to turn them into community PR machines — attendees also learned about the benefits of utilizing individuals with disabilities in their volunteer programs. This was just one of the Nonprofit Workshops we hosted last year — but watch this website for announcements of our 2018-2019 schedule of Workshops and Networking Events, coming this Fall.
