Dimensions of effective volunteer recruitment and retention include **purpose alignment**, **clear communication**, **training and support**, and **appreciation**. Volunteers are more likely to stay engaged when their efforts align with the organization’s mission, and they understand their role clearly. Training equips them to succeed, while consistent feedback and recognition foster a sense of value. Flexibility and opportunities for personal growth further enhance retention.
