SEEing Volunteer Engagement from a New Perspective

What really stands in the way of great Volunteer Engagement? Funding, leadership buy-in or something less obvious? It can feel difficult or overwhelming to answer this question in today’s fast-paced and resource-constrained workplace environments. This issue’s Research to Practice, written by guest authors Rachel Schad, Traci Lato-Smith and Paige Porter from reDirect, provides a framework for tackling this very challenge. The authors introduce SEE (Supportive Environments for Effectiveness), a research-backed framework built on decades of environmental psychology research. Using three case studies, they demonstrate how applying SEE can enable simple changes to create more informed, capable and engaged volunteers, and also give readers the blueprint to get started.
