When unexpected moments of change create a need for volunteers, how do community organizations pivot quickly to mobilize the help they need? Join us for an intimate, interactive panel discussion exploring the realities of rapid-response volunteer recruitment. We are bringing together three experienced panellists who have navigated the frontlines of community needs and small to large scale mobilizations. They will share battle-tested strategies and ideas on how to unite people, inspire action, and manage teams when circumstances change quickly.
Event Format: 4-Panelist discussion + audience Q&A.
