Get Involved Collaborative: A Multi-State Approach to Increasing Volunteer Engagement
Get Involved Resource Clearinghouse
Learn from your public library colleagues who are creating effective volunteer engagement strategies, tools and practices that will keep you from re-inventing the wheel! Search the database of Get Involved resources and enhance your success in volunteer engagement. The purpose of the Get Involved Collaborative project was to increase the use of skilled volunteers in public libraries.
Resources include:
- Management Tools, Policies, and Handbooks
- High Impact Volunteer Position Descriptions
- Training Materials, Videos, and Tutorials about best practices
- Professional Photos related to position descriptions
Arizona public libraries are encouraged to take advantage of the resources made available through the “The Get Involved Collaborative: A Multi-State Approach to Increasing Volunteer Engagement.” Arizona became involved in the Get Involved project as part of a four state collaborative including California, Idaho, and Texas through a Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program 3 year grant award (2017-2020).
This project was supported by the Arizona State Library, Archives & Public Records, a division of the Secretary of State, with federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
