Staff & Volunteer Retention Tactics

Help our nonprofit build long-term sustainability by investing in our people. We are looking for an HR volunteer who can brainstorm employee and volunteer retention tactics alongside our team.

Activities of this project may include:
-Leading a collaborative brainstorming process around retention tactics
-Distilling ideas from brainstorming activities into a prioritized list of recommendations
-Advising our team on best practices for implementing the recommended retention tactics

We estimate that this pro bono project will take from 4-6 weeks to complete and use (on average) 2-4 hours of volunteer time per week.

Through working with Mommy Haven on this project, the volunteer will directly support our mission by helping us build the internal capacity needed to serve mothers and children more effectively.



By strengthening our volunteer recruitment, interviewing, onboarding, and retention processes, this project ensures that the right people are brought into the organization, supported appropriately, and aligned with our mission of reunification, stability, and empowerment.



Strong internal systems allow Mommy Haven to focus more time and energy on program development and community impact. The outcomes of this project will help create a sustainable foundation that enables us to grow responsibly, protect our participants, and deliver meaningful, mission-driven services to families in need.

Our nonprofit has compiled a list of staff and volunteer retention tactics that we've tried in the past, as well as new ideas that we'd like a volunteer's insight on. We will come to this pro bono project ready to share details about our staff members and volunteers so that you can get to know our stakeholders. We will also be prepared to share our current staff compensation package.

Implementing retention tactics generated during this project is a top priority for our team. Our work can't happen without our amazing people! We need your expertise on where to start and which ideas could have the biggest payoff.
