I have a strong bias that individuals should use their unique skills and experience to impact an organization. While cash resources are always important, we desperately need people's knowledge, skills and experience to come up with new solutions to old problems.

Meg Garlinghouse, LinkedIn for Good

Why Would SBV Not Be Helpful?

• Deliverable was disappointing

• Volunteers were not knowledgeable about the agency or

sector needs

• Too much of the organization’s staff time was needed for the

project

• About 25% felt that the project took too long to finish

• Another 25% felt that the volunteer did not have the right

skills

• 23% said they underestimated the scope of work that was

required
