Heritage and culture organisations do vital work, preserving the legacies of our past for future generations. They rely on dedicated individuals and effective organisation. This is where volunteer management can be a great tool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges in Volunteer Management for Heritage Preservation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While their contributions are incredibly valuable, managing heritage volunteers still comes with its own set of challenges. These include recruitment struggles, providing adequate training, coordinating schedules, and retaining engagement. It\u2019s no doubt that heritage organisations face a fair few hurdles when optimising their volunteer programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteer diversity can be a big issue for organisations in the sector. A 2019 report from the Heritage Volunteering Group raised questions about the lack of diversity and the roles volunteers play. Is this still the case in 2024? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, some great resources have been developed to address this issue. For example, take a look at this Make Your Mark<\/a> webinar on how you can remove class barriers to heritage volunteering. This is just one of the factors which might be limiting your volunteer diversity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
