Two years ago VALF implemented a persistence and retention study of five volunteer literacy programs in Florida. We learned that retention of students was challenging, a fact backed up by other studies and observations by program managers.
We also explored how volunteer programs could do a better job at keeping students and volunteers. We learned that ongoing support for students and volunteers was extremely important.
If you want to know more about how to improve your program, attend this free workshop.
Balancing Act: Volunteer Adult Literacy Program Management Workshop
Learn how quality volunteer literacy programs manage all aspects of running a program. Find out how they pay equal attention to both support as well as to intake of volunteers and students.
Learn concrete strategies to help plan, manage and package your literacy program in challenging times.
The workshop is based on the experience of VALF members, the book, Maintaining the Balance: A Guide to 50/50 Management and the 2007-2008 VALF student retention and persistence study.
