As the 2010/2011 AmeriCorps term comes to a close, it's time to start thinking about leaving all of our partner organizations with the tools they need to maintain the volunteer programs VIP Fellows have created.

- What are some additional things that could be done to keep volunteers around?
Check out this article to see why volunteer retention is so important and some things that can be done to keep your volunteers coming around.
