Volunteers are the backbone of many nonprofit organizations, including Nonprofit Net, which is 100% volunteer run. In recognition of April as National Volunteer Month, we share guiding principles from Stacey Terlink, manager of volunteer services at Community Servings, on how they manage over 1,000 volunteers.



  • Make volunteers mission-critical

  • Give special attention to students

  • Make friends with business neighbors

  • Keep volunteers engaged and active

  • Honor your helping hands
