UNITED WAY PARTNERS CONDUCTING VOLUNTEERISM SURVEY

Local agencies, organizations, clubs, and organizations utilizing volunteer are invited to participate in a short survey being conducted by the Volunteer Center of Gloucester County, the Community Service Corps and the United Way as part of their current strategic planning effort.

More than forty agencies are participating in the development of the plan that, if successfully implemented, will increases the number of Gloucester County residents who offer their time and talents to hundreds of activities each year. Work groups have been meeting on a monthly basis since the planning process was introduced at a public meeting in October.

Survey results will be used to assist planning volunteers in developing recommendations and best practices for volunteer recruitment, utilization, retention and recognition. The plan will be presented at a community-wide meeting in April.

To obtain an electronic version of the survey, contact Donna Fanticola at the United Way of Gloucester County 856-845-4303 x 13, or email her at donnafanticola@uwgcnj.org
