2016-Leveraging Skills-Based Volunteers: A Primer for Nonprofits

Share this:

This workshop is for nonprofit leaders and will focus on preparing you to work successfully with a skills-based (pro bono) volunteer. It will highlight:

• Understanding the use of and need for skills-based volunteers
• Ensuring your nonprofit is “pro-bono ready”
• Scoping your project and finding skilled volunteers
• Best practices for managing your projects

Amy Klein, Executive Director, VolunteerConnect

Amy, a California native and UCLA graduate, has broad nonprofit and volunteer experience. Having begun her career as a volunteer, her recent work has been extensively in the development and fundraising fields. Amy has donated countless hours of volunteer work throughout her life, from beach cleanups to suicide hotline support and skills-based work such as event planning.
She currently is the executive director of VolunteerConnect and has successfully launched the skills-based volunteer movement in New Jersey, which includes short-term impact projects and nonprofit board training for individuals and corporations. Amy is on the advisory board of RSVP of Mercer County and sits on committees with the Mid-Jersey Chamber of Commerce Nonprofit Executive Council, Princeton Community Works, and the Central New Jersey Chapter of Ellevate (formally 85 Broads). When she’s not advocating volunteerism, Amy can be found with her husband and two children, gardening or playing with her adored chocolate Labrador.

In the video to the right, Marge Smith, founder and chair of PCW, explains how the conference is emphasizing the connections and support that only colleagues can provide.
