Digital in Volunteering Toolkit: The Launch
On Thursday 5th December, we’re excited to launch the Digital in Volunteering Toolkit in partnership with the Association of Volunteer Managers (AVM) and Gethyn Williams. This toolkit is designed to help volunteer-involving organisations make informed choices about digital tools that truly meet their needs, encouraging a ‘growth mindset’ supported by digital innovation.
Why a Digital Toolkit Now?
The volunteer landscape is evolving faster than ever. The COVID era has reshaped who volunteers and what they expect, while social changes challenge traditional recruitment and retention approaches. With digital technology also advancing rapidly, this toolkit offers Volunteer Managers timely support to re-evaluate the role of digital within their organisations, allowing them to adapt and thrive amidst these shifts.
What’s Inside the Toolkit?
The Digital in Volunteering Toolkit tackles big questions for the future, such as:
- How can we prepare for the impact of AI?
- In what ways can digital help us be more inclusive?
- What exactly is open data, and how can it add value?
Through a range of practical advice and shared learnings, the toolkit empowers Volunteer Managers to adopt the right digital solutions on their own terms, addressing real-world challenges in volunteer management.
This resource is built for the overall community, guided by input from volunteer managers, and crafted by Gethyn Williams with sponsorship from TeamKinetic and AVM. We look forward to celebrating the launch and seeing the impact it has across the sector!
