Knowing the culture shock which can accompany volunteering on a disaster relief program, it's vital that we support our volunteers in their transition to returning home and remind them that they're still very much part of the All Hands and Hearts family.
THANKING AND SUPPORTING DEPARTED VOLUNTEERS
At the beginning of every month we send this email to the volunteers who departed our programs in the previous month, thanking them for taking time out of their schedules to show up and support our work. Our Transitioning From Life on Program guide is included in this email which aims to prepare departed volunteers for what they might experience on returning home, suggest how they can reflect on and leverage their volunteer experience, and remind them they're always welcome to volunteer again.
Our thank you email also provides an opportunity to encourage departed volunteers to continue to tap into the All Hands and Hearts community spirit and connect with like-minded people via the Alumni Network.
The Alumni Network is our key tool to help us continue to foster community. As of January 2022, the platform has welcomed more than 8,900 users from 124 nations and serves as a one stop shop for our global community to stay connected with friends from program, network with other volunteers and staff members, access a host of humanitarian and career-focused resources and keep updated with job vacancies and news from our teams on the ground.
Check out this video and these step by step guides for further information on making the most of the platform.
