Northwest Special Recreation Association
The Volunteer Center has been a tremendous support to our agency by providing a substantial number of volunteer referrals to work directly with our senior clients as well as in office positions…The staff is thorough, professional and quick to respond…the volunteers expand the services offered by our Senior Program in ways that would not otherwise be available due to budget constraints.
Catholic Charities
...I appreciate all you and your organization do for our Volunteer Programs at OMNI…your referrals cover all types of volunteering, from office work to fundraising to people working directly with our clients. This is a vital service to agencies, but it also makes it easier for the residents of the Northwest suburbs to learn about volunteer opportunities and the benefits of volunteering.
OMNI Youth Services
...We have utilized the services of The Volunteer Center numerous times to locate volunteers and have found their volunteers greatly assist our organization. The environment that we work in as a not-for-profit agency demands that we have volunteer assistance to assist us in accomplishing our mission. I'm personally convinced that the work of The Volunteer Center is more important now than ever.
CEDA Northwest Self-Help Center, Inc.
...We appreciate the volunteer support received through The Volunteer Center. Our need for volunteer help is constant. Thanks to your resources, our programs have met with favorable responses. It is a pleasure working with you and your staff.
Clearbrook Center
The Volunteer Center is an excellent resource to recruit and publicize our agency's volunteer needs…things are always handled in a professional and timely manner. We receive referrals who have been screened and match the needs of Shelter…they do an excellent job of recruiting volunteers from the community and matching them to the appropriate agency. A good example of how the center has helped our agency is our Holiday Gift Giving Program. We care for an average of 80 children a day…the Volunteer Center was instrumental in referring individuals in the community who were very generous. Students from a local high school bought gifts for over 40 children in our care. The holiday gifts were a tremendous help. It has been a pleasure to work with such caring people.
Shelter, Inc.
The Volunteer Center has been vital in assisting our agency to find volunteers to staff our advocacy program. A staff member calls our office on a regular basis to assess our volunteer needs and obtain dates for our training schedule. I have found them to be very efficient and professional…referrals are well informed about our agency and the job description of an advocate volunteer has been thoroughly explained. This saves me a great deal of time, and time is a precious commodity in a not-for-profit social service agency…The center also offers other beneficial services. It's continuing education on the topic of volunteer programs is a useful service. I was pleased to be a part of the Volunteer Award Program and Ceremony celebration and proud to see one of our hard working volunteers honored in a meaningful way. The Volunteer Center supports our work and is a wonderful, helpful service.
Northwest CASA
...Your recruitment efforts are the greatest source of new volunteers for us. Just in the last six months, you have referred 34 volunteers…Your quarterly workshops have been a great way to increase our volunteer supervisors skills . They help improve our practices as well as develop our team…We have also taken advantage of your recognition dinner to honor some special volunteer and increase the visibility of our programs in the community. We value our relationship and would like to go on record with our support.
