2007 Volunteer Edmonton Survey
To better understand the state of volunteerism in Edmonton, a survey commissioned by Volunteer Edmonton and Edmonton Community Services was conducted between November and December 2007 to find out what the current needs, trends and challenges are for nonprofit/voluntary organizations that rely on volunteers. The survey examines a variety of factors that contribute to the success of an organization's volunteer program--recruitment strategies, volunteer management tools, recognition events and more.
