Maui County's Volunteer Center, HandsOn Maui, is set to host a free, virtual workshop designed to empower nonprofit leaders and volunteer managers with the latest artificial intelligence tools. The workshop will focus on leveraging AI to enhance volunteer recruitment and retention efforts across Maui County. This initiative is especially timely, given the increasing reliance of nonprofits on effective volunteer management in the post-disaster recovery landscape.
The workshop aims to assist nonprofits in adapting to the changing technological environment. The rise of AI in the nonprofit sector is a significant trend, with NPTech for Good reporting that over 82% of nonprofits already utilize AI in various capacities. The HandsOn Maui will provide practical strategies and insights for local organizations to optimize their volunteer programs. This includes exploring AI-driven solutions for outreach, communication, and engagement, allowing nonprofits to maximize their impact with limited resources.
The workshop underscores the county's commitment to supporting the nonprofit sector. Several other resources are available for nonprofit leaders, and Maui County frequently shares information on its website related to community initiatives and volunteer opportunities. The workshop aims to equip attendees with actionable methods to refine their volunteer recruitment and retention strategies in the face of post-disaster recovery. Through this workshop, HandsOn Maui is striving to build a stronger, more resilient community, one volunteer at a time.
This training is part of a larger effort to support local nonprofits, equipping them with the resources they need to thrive. Previous events such as the workshop on “How to Inspire, Motivate and Communicate with Your Volunteers in Ways that Cost Nothing,” indicate the kinds of support that Maui County is providing. By embracing AI and other innovations, Maui's nonprofits can enhance their ability to drive positive change and better serve the community.
