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 within your own community.
Our growing library is designed specifically for long-term care settings and the unique challenges you navigate each day. These were built for you — not adapted from somewhere else.
Step-by-step guidance on finding and onboarding volunteers from within your own community.
Comprehensive frameworks that prepare volunteers to make a meaningful difference from day one.
Guidance on designing person-directed volunteer roles that honor individual dignity and autonomy.
Strategies for building lasting volunteer relationships that sustain your program through the years.
Proven approaches to keeping volunteers engaged, valued, and connected to their purpose.
