Book Description

Be your volunteer Team's Biggest Cheerleader! Refresh, delight and surprise volunteers! (It's easier than you think!)

Volunteers change lives. But do yours feel worn out, underappreciated and ready to change their lives... by volunteering somewhere else? The most important thing you can do for volunteers is also the simplest: Encourage them! Experts give you 101 tested ideas for creatively retaining and motivating volunteers. Plus, the authors share real-life feedback from their volunteers. Inside are cost-effective ideas on how to keep your best youth workers ... and keep them happy: You get:

•  Inspiring out-of-the-box ideas
•  Interesting encouragement notes
•  Fun ideas for team meetings
•  Easy-to-follow supply lists
•  Snippets on the ins and outs of working with volunteers
•  Fun "top 5" lists (5 signs a volunteer need encouragement, 5 signs that someone may not make a good youth ministry volunteers, etc) and more!

Worth cheering about: When your volunteers are affirmed and empowered, they're more likely to impact the spiritual lives of the kids and teens they're serving - and bring along new volunteers. See everyone develop relationships with each other and Jesus!
