"The serious challenge we have, particularly in our community where there's a high rate of volunteerism, is around raising the capacity of our nonprofits to effectively utilize volunteers... A big part of it is volunteer management... We've got some wonderful systems here locally for helping people engage... but what we have to do is make sure that when people show up to engage, that nonprofit has the right kind of training, the right kind of staff in place, the right kind of leadership mentality to really make use of volunteers in a high value way."
