“Nonprofits should also think about developing an orientation program to connect with volunteers. Angelina Cahalan, volunteer manager for St. Anthony’s, explained the orientation allows for a piece of education for volunteers, including St. Anthony’s history, how the organization does its work and the community it serves. “We want them to understand the deeper realities for the people who live in this community. What is going to be like working with these folks? We invite them to be a part of the mission. What we do is really important to us and, more importantly, how we do everything we do with dignity and respect,” said Cahalan.
