Permalink: https://www.eventscribe.com/2019/AAMers/fsPopup.asp?mode=presInfo&PresentationID=526132

Museums often focus on individual volunteers and could be overlooking some of the greatest assets in their communities: group volunteers. Come discover the unique volunteer projects Tracy Aviary provides to groups large and small, corporate to family. Gain insight into how projects are determined, groups are recruited and managed, and volunteers feel fulfilled while meeting our mission.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify gaps in an institution’s volunteer program, specifically audiences served and projects facilitated.
• Describe ways to engage families and groups in volunteer service at the organization.
• Develop projects that meet standards outlined by the American Association for Museum Volunteers, fulfill the organization’s mission, and are meaningful to volunteers.
