St. Louis County Animal Care and Control Adoption Center volunteers have spent nearly 28,000 hours walking dogs, cleaning kennels and promoting adoptable pets so far this year. Despite their contributions, the county's Department of Public Health has decided to end the shelter's volunteer program. That decision has volunteers and advocates worried about what will happen to the animals at the facility — especially since the shelter has previously come under fire for improper care. STLPR journalists Danny Wicentowski and Ulaa Kuziez discuss their reporting on the decision, share background on the shelter's history and talk about plans for the shelter's future.

With a career spanning over three decades, Karen Knight is a seasoned professional renowned for her unwavering commitment to the not-for-profit sector. Having navigated various leadership roles in both the private and public sectors, Karen's journey highlights her adaptability and versatility.  Key Takeaways:Before looking for volunteers, establish the roles that they will fill or come up with a list of tasks that they will do. Know who you are looking for and what they're going to do. Keep your volunteers happy by making them feel appreciated. Thank every volunteer in every shift and in specific if possible. If you can't be specific, then show them that you see what they're contributing. Talk to your volunteers. If you listen, people tell you about what they want. Don't spend time and energy arranging an event for the volunteers that they may not necessarily like. Instead, ask them what they want. Volunteers are not merely “free workers”. The senior leadership needs to realize the value of investing in their volunteer program. One change that could make an impact is to hire a volunteer manager who's qualified and appropriately funded. Being a volunteer manager is a senior leadership position.  “The more people who are involved in your mission, the faster it'll advance, you get to your mission sooner. The more people you bring in, the more ideas you have, the more enthusiasm you have - it just builds on itself.” “You have to be ready for your volunteers. Otherwise, it's, you're frustrating them and you're not making any difference to your cause. Once you know who you're looking for, you will find them.” “You need to have the buy-in of the senior executive of the board to invest in the [volunteer] program. You need to realize that [managing volunteers] is a senior leadership position and treat it as such and fund it as such.” - Karen Knight Reach out to Karen Knight at:Website: https://karenknight.ca/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karen-knight-consulting/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KarenKnightConsulting  Ask for and receive all you want need and deserve without feeling rejected, ineffective, or pushy.

Your volunteer program's KPIs are like your vital signs. Think about it – when you go to your doctor, what does the nurse do first? Check your vitals – weight, blood pressure, pulse oxygen, urinalysis, blood work. These numbers help to quickly assess your level of wellness, and they give your medical team direction to locate problems and determine whether a treatment plan is working. The same goes for nonprofit programs, including your volunteer engagement strategy. Knowing your nonprofit KPIs for volunteers can help you identify early issues and assess whether certain interventions are making a difference.
