“I have more volunteers than I know what to do with.” Said no kidmin leader ever.
Recruiting volunteers can feel hard, especially when you’re busy, tired, or trying to keep everything running smoothly. But what if the issue isn’t just that people won’t say yes? What if we’ve been approaching recruitment the wrong way?
You don’t need high-pressure tactics, desperate announcements, or complicated strategies to build a strong volunteer team. When approached with clarity and confidence, volunteer recruitment becomes a natural expression of discipleship. In this 90-minute workshop, we’ll reframe volunteer recruitment as discipleship. Instead of recruiting from urgency or pressure, we’ll learn how to invite people into purpose. Because when you truly believe serving changes lives, you stop apologizing for asking and start leading with confidence.
The goal of this online workshop is to help you recruit with clarity and confidence by reframing volunteer recruitment as discipleship, learn how to invite instead of ask, identify who you’re really calling into leadership, and create a simple, sustainable plan that builds a healthy team without burnout, desperation, or constant scrambling.
This is about building culture, strengthening systems, and leading in a way that makes people want to say yes.
Happening Thursday, April 16, 2026 from 1-2:30pm EST via Zoom.
