Hi everyone! My name is Sydney and I am the volunteer coordinator for Sprouts of Promise. Currently, we are looking for a volunteer training program for our market managers. Most of the program we've found are geared towards higher level positions. If anyone has any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!!
Happy Volunteer Month, everyone! We wanted to share this little tidbit with you as you celebrate your lovely volunteers and the invaluable support and services they provide to our communities and nation:
(WASHINGTON, April 18, 2022) – Independent Sector, with the Do Good Institute, announced today that the latest value of a volunteer hour is estimated to be $29.95, which is a 4.9% increase over 2020.
We know putting numbers to volunteer hours will never do them justice, but this data underscores the significance of the contributions volunteers have made in our communities. What a great way to remember and celebrate all that they do and give!

While the immensity of the contributions made by volunteers can never truly be calculated, new national and state-by-state data underscores the significance of the invaluable support and services volunteers provide in communities across the country.
When designing our new website, one specific improvement we wanted to focus on was creating a space for HALO Award recipients, past and current, to connect and support each other in their volunteer management journey. The program is purposefully designed in a cohort format to encourage cross-organizational learning and our hope is that these connections will be maintained and strengthened beyond the HALO Award program year.
The HALO Award Forum includes a Member’s Area, which site visitors can use to get to know each other and even personalize their profile pages. Members can also add new posts, write comments, and like posts.
Interested in learning about creative ways other organizations recognize and appreciate their volunteers? Looking for a new volunteer management database system and not sure where to start? We hope that the HALO Award family will use this space to pose questions, share ideas, learn, and connect.
