Tips for Recruiting Volunteers
In a rapidly changing environment, effectively recruiting volunteers can be a challenge for many organisations. Volunteer powered digital mentoring programs are not immune to this
Leep believes that volunteering is a gift.
It provides people with an opportunity to give back to local communities and in return transforms a volunteer’s health and wellbeing, and for some, provide a pathway to employment.
