Volunteers are critical to the success of many nonprofits, but all too often organizations don’t have a strategy in place for volunteer management. We believe that meaningful volunteer engagement can become a strategic advantage…We were heartened to see [this] guidebook with up-to-date insights and advice on integrating online activities into volunteer management, especially considering the rapid change and innovation of the last decade. If you seek a easy-to-use and forward-thinking guide to integrated volunteer involvement, look no further!
—Taylor Chamberlin, Blue Garnet
Ellis and Cravens reunite to revise a classic. The LAST Virtual Volunteering Guidebook shows how online service has evolved into an essential element of all volunteer involvement. It takes a look back at more than a decade of change and brings you up to date on the latest insights and advice on navigating the ever-changing world of technology to successfully engage volunteers, online and off. VolunteerMatch doesn’t just recommend this guide; we use it.

What a great resource! This book can be accessed for specific content or as a complete learning experience. I chose to read it from start to finish, and am glad I did. Even after forty years of working in this field, the authors provided me with new ways to think about leadership challenges in the online world. We can all use more suggestions on how to use online resources to communicate with today’s volunteers, whether they are beside us or halfway around the world. This one definitely belongs on every volunteer management bookshelf.
— Kathleen Joy, Executive Director, Oregon Volunteers
If your project or organization relies on volunteers, go get this book! Its guidance is straightforward, practical, and applicable to the broadest range of volunteer challenges. The book goes beyond online interactions and provides winning strategies for working with all volunteers. I especially love the way questions of diversity and disability, often separated into “silos,” are fully integrated, creating vibrant volunteer involvement that will help your organization in ways you may not anticipate. This is a resource you will not want to be without!
