Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Facebook community this past week!
Volunteer Newsletter Templates
When it comes to creating a volunteer e-newsletter, it’s hard to know where to begin. There are plenty of online platforms available to meet your needs. For ideas and examples, check out our Volunteer Newsletter Guide, and take a look at the recommendations from our coordinator community below!
Comments and resources
"I use a template from Canva they have free ones and you can save them so you just need to update the details each time we do them"
"Director of Volunteer Resources"
"I use a combination of Publisher and Canva"

Volunteer Week Newsletters
If you already have a volunteer e-newsletter, chances are you use it to send special updates and information. One of our volunteer coordinators asked for ideas on a Volunteer Week e-newsletter, and our community came up with some creative ideas!
Comments from the group
"We [did] a buzzfeed style volunteer themed quiz last year which was a big hit. We'll do something similar this year"
"I've always taken the view that…in volunteer week you go above that with actual 'physical' recognition. I have made gifts, put on an afternoon tea, hosted an awards ceremony, organised a treasure hunt with a buffet at the finish, held a murder mystery night with hotpot supper...the list is endless"
"Highlight the last year….goals met, people served, fun stories, volunteer story highlights, have staff shout out volunteers"
