(NAPSI)—Any time of year can be the right time to take a fresh look at the contribution that volunteers make to an organization.

That’s because from “the board room to the boiler room,” organizations are finding there is room for volunteers to take on more than they have in the past. They are also finding that many existing volunteers are ready to step in to fill new roles.

Many organizations are learning that the breadth of what volunteers can accomplish is in many cases remarkable. For example, volunteers can serve as experts to meet the special needs of programs, help improve program effectiveness or help to meet unmet service needs.

While a startup investment of time is often required to develop new roles for volunteers, experience shows that it can pay great dividends. Whether serving as accountants, business advisers, planners, translators or writers, volunteers can make a difference for organizations.

Volunteers can serve as experts to help meet unmet needs.
