Volunteer Statistics

Here are the volunteer statistics for the months of November & December:

November:

New Volunteer Inquiries: 75
Number of People Attending Orientation: 17
Number of People Placed in Positions: 19

December:

New Volunteer Inquiries: 69
Number of People Attending Orientation: 18
Number of People Placed in Positions: 8

There was a slight spike in volunteer inquiries in the month of November, most likely due to the Thanksgiving holiday. You will notice that less people were placed in December than the previous month. This is due to the demands on time and volunteer/staff availability during the December holidays.

The agency is doing a great job in filling volunteer positions at all three locations. We anticipate an increase in filled positions during the month of January. A new position titled "Residential Assistant" was created to give more support to our staff at HomeStart. These openings are evening positions for individuals that work during the daytime hours. This will give volunteers that want to get involved with the agency more opportunities to do so. Other positions that are also available include weekend receptionists at Community House and substitute drivers for food pick up/delivery.

If you are interested in learning more about volunteer opportunities at the IFC, please email me at volunteer@ifcmailbox.org. Thank you, again, for your support and continued dedication.

Happy New Year...

Until next time...Peace,

Karen
