Language matters! Are the words you are using in your volunteer recruitment messages excluding identities and experiences?

You will have an opportunity to see inclusive recruitment message examples, discuss inclusive language concepts, and workshop your volunteer recruitment message with other volunteer engagement leaders.

Participants are encouraged to bring their volunteer recruitment messages to share and edit in small groups during the session.
