Re: [Community_garden] How do you recruit and retain volunteers? Lisa- I'm responding to you off and on list to be sure you get the email and that others get a chance to see this info-
My best answer to this question is a book titled The Nonprofit Membership Toolkit <http://www.josseybass.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-290302.html> by Ellis Robinson. If you follow the link provided you will find not only the book information but all of the extremely helpful worksheets she references throughout the book for free download. I'm currently reading the book and I would give it 5 stars after getting through the first four chapters. I know this book may have more info then you're looking for, but if you have the time to read it over it will certainly answer your question and even address some you might not have even thought of yet (least it did for me).
