Provide comprehensive training to volunteers to equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively support the organization’s initiatives and engage with individuals affected by sickle cell disease.

Community Engagement: Empower volunteers to serve as ambassadors for Sickle Conquest within their communities, raising awareness about sickle cell disease, promoting the organization’s programs and services, and mobilizing support for its mission through grassroots outreach efforts and social media campaigns.
  5. Evaluation and Feedback: Regularly assess the effectiveness of the Volunteer Engagement Program through feedback surveys, focus groups, and performance reviews. Use this feedback to identify areas for improvement, refine program strategies, and ensure that volunteers remain engaged, motivated, and fulfilled in their roles.
