Bringing back inactive volunteers
What would you recommend to get volunteers active again. I have SEVERAL volunteer applications that I may have seen once or they use to volunteer then stopped for whatever reason. I would like the past volunteers to know that our volunteer program has been revamped and we would like to see them back and involved in the shelter.

Do an "outreach letter" or little note. Hey, we've missed you (animal pictures with big soulful eyes work wonders!) Let them know you've revamped the program and that you would love to have them back. We get a lot of volunteers that drop off due to work, family, everyday life etc. but getting a personal note and invite to think about volunteering again is a great motivator to bring 'em back.
