Brenda, your comment ‘Volunteering benefits not just the recipient, it enriches the giver as well,’ is something most people underestimate. The benefits the giver receives from the volunteer experience needs to be emphasized as much as the good done for the community. That might help increase volunteer engagement.

Karen, I agree with your sentiment. Nonprofits could highlight the "feel good" experience of helping through volunteer testimonials. Maybe we will hear from some nonprofits on how they engage with their volunteers.
