Volunteer Recruitment & Retention

It can be tricky to find volunteers, and it's always a great idea to start with parents of youth players - getting them involved from the get-go. Failing that, make sure you use your social media channels to actively seek out volunteers. It's also a great idea to connect with local high schools, colleges and universities to see if you can work together;  you get your social media/website looked after - they get real work experience for their students. Having volunteered at your local rugby club is a great addition to anyone's CV!
