How do you turn someone’s first volunteer shift into a lasting connection with their refuge?
Join us for a Refuge Friends webinar with Alex Marshall of the Friends of Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge. Alex will share ideas for recruitment, onboarding, recognition and continual management of a robust Friends volunteer program.
Whether your Friends group is starting a volunteer program or looking for better ways to support the people who already show up for your refuge, you’ll hear ideas to bring back to your group.
