Marketing for Change for Charities
Screening your marketing volunteer
We recommend that you meet and interview the marketing volunteer prior to offering the volunteering opportunity to him/her.
Here are a number of topics we recommend you discuss with the marketing volunteer:
- Overview of your organisation - how many people work with you, what is your organisation's vision
- Discuss the volunteering opportunity - does the marketing volunteer understand the level of involvement and what skills are required
- Question the marketing volunteer about his/her skills in the particular area of your project. For example, for an event question the types of events they have worked on, sourcing venues and suppliers, managing 3rd parties as well as specific skills required for your role etc...
- Discuss the marketing volunteer's interest in your organisation and volunteering in general
