Supporting Your Commitment

We recognize the tireless work you do every day, and we know that managing a volunteer program can feel like one more thing on an already full plate. Our goal is simple: to support you. We offer practical tools, expert guidance, and strategies that make volunteer management easier — so you can focus on your core responsibilities while still building a strong, sustainable volunteer program.

Please Note

NALTCV does not recruit or assign volunteers to care communities.
Instead, we equip your team with the training, tools, and support you need to confidently recruit, train, and retain volunteers from your own community.

Practical Tools and Resources

NALTCV is committed to giving you the resources that make a real difference. Our growing library includes guidance on:

  • recruiting and welcoming volunteers
  • training Companion Volunteers
  • creating meaningful roles
  • retaining volunteers over the long term
  • effective communication and recognition practices

These tools are designed specifically for long-term care settings and the unique challenges you navigate each day.

Professional Development and Networking

Supporting volunteers starts with supporting you.
NALTCV offers training opportunities, workshops, and webinars focused on practical skills for volunteer management in care communities.

You’ll also have access to our online community — a space to exchange ideas, ask questions, and connect with peers who understand the realities of long-term care.

Creating a Positive Volunteer Environment

Companion Volunteers are most effective when they feel welcomed, prepared, and valued. We help you create a culture where volunteers thrive by offering strategies for:

  • designing meaningful, person-directed volunteer roles
  • building strong staff–volunteer relationships
  • communicating clearly and consistently
  • integrating volunteers into the rhythm of daily life

A supportive environment empowers volunteers and enriches life for the people they visit.

Appreciation and Recognition

Gratitude matters.
Volunteers — and the professionals who guide them — deserve recognition for the impact they make.

We provide ideas and tools to help you:

  • celebrate volunteer milestones
  • show appreciation in simple, heartfelt ways
  • build a culture where contribution is noticed and valued

Recognition strengthens commitment and keeps volunteers engaged.
