Volunteer appreciation ideas are ways to thank volunteers and keep them coming back. This pack runs the thank-you event itself: your year in numbers, a live message wall where anyone thanks a volunteer by name, three people's-choice awards by word cloud, and a vote on what volunteers want next.

How to run it

  1. 1Replace the sample numbers on the 'Year in numbers' slide with your own before the event.
  2. 2Invite staff, board members and the people you serve to add to the message wall, not just volunteers.
  3. 3Read messages aloud as they arrive, with names. This is the heart of the evening.
  4. 4For the awards, the biggest name in each word cloud wins. Have certificates ready with blank names.
  5. 5Use the closing scale and open question to plan next season, and share the message wall with every volunteer afterwards.

Questions people ask

What are good volunteer appreciation ideas?
Thank people by name and for specific things: a message wall, people's-choice awards, sharing the impact in numbers, and asking volunteers what they want next season.
How do you plan a volunteer appreciation event?
Keep it short and personal: welcome, share the year's impact, read thank-you messages aloud, give a few peer-chosen awards, and ask volunteers for ideas. Food helps.
