Recruit volunteers - Governance

Effective volunteer recruitment is grounded in strong governance. This section explores how strategic documents—such as the National Society’s statutes, volunteer policy, and organizational strategy—can provide clear direction and legitimacy for volunteer engagement efforts. Governance frameworks that prioritize inclusive recruitment, uphold volunteer rights, and define roles and responsibilities help create a trusted and consistent foundation for outreach. When recruitment practices are embedded in official policies and supported by leadership, they not only attract more volunteers but also build confidence and continuity across the organization.
