Abstract

Although there are a large number of non-profit organizations and volunteer opportunities available, there is a lack of volunteer engagement within organizations making it difficult to complete mission goals. This project was implemented and completed by Community Builders for Monterey County executive director and intern. Community Builders for Monterey County is a 501c(3) non-profit organization that was created to connect volunteers to different non-profit organizations around Monterey County. This project was created with the purpose of assessing potential volunteer needs in a survey style form in order to better understand how to get volunteers more engaged. The project resulted in 15 people filling out the survey. Upon analysis of the responses it was discovered that individuals were ultimately not engaged due to lack of time and not knowing where to find volunteer opportunities. Some of the next steps the agency can take are to continue to distribute the survey with larger audiences to get a better idea on how to cater to volunteer needs and make themselves more accessible, whether it is via social media, at schools, in person or at volunteering tabling events. In turn organizations are able to get more volunteer engagement to help achieve mission goals.
