How to retain your volunteers? Webinar with Lucas Meijs and new initiatives

How do you guide voluntary energy? What have we learned?

Voluntary energy flows where it cannot go. If you ensure reciprocity in the relationship between volunteer and help-seeker, the help-seeker will more easily ask for that help. Vrijwilligersacademie and Vrijwilligers Centrale Amsterdam, together with Lucas Meijs, are organizing a series of three webinars. To explore, learn, and prepare for the future together with professor Lucas Meijs.
