Transform Volunteers Into Tomorrow's Leaders
Your volunteers are the heart of your mission. But without support, 1 in 3 leave within a year. Give them mentorship connections that increase retention, build skills, and create a sustainable leadership pipeline—all while staying within your nonprofit budget.
The Hidden Cost of Volunteer Turnover
Each lost volunteer costs $625 to replace. Beyond the financial impact, you lose institutional knowledge, community connections, and future leaders. Without support, volunteers burn out, feel undervalued, and drift away.
Mentorship That Retains & Develops
Pair new volunteers with experienced ones. Support active contributors with peer mentors. Prepare emerging leaders with board guidance. Create a culture where every volunteer feels valued, supported, and sees a future with your organization.
