AL!VE Releases Groundbreaking Career Pathways Report for Volunteer Engagement Professionals
AL!VE is proud to complete the launch of Career Pathways, a first-of-its-kind resource designed to support professional development and career growth for volunteer engagement practitioners nationwide.
Developed through a comprehensive survey of almost 500 volunteerism professionals, this report provides a structured job-leveling framework that identifies core competencies and duties shared across organizations and geographic regions. Despite the diversity of roles and workplaces, the findings highlight a common need for well-defined career progressions in the volunteer engagement sector.
“I used the job leveling information when I spoke with my boss about changing my title,” said one member. Another member said, “I used the career pathways report to advocate for a pay raise and it worked!”
Key highlights of the Career Pathways Report include:
- A comprehensive job-leveling framework detailing key competencies and responsibilities
- Insights into industry pay structures and role expectations
- Strategies for career advancement and professional growth
- Recommendations for organizations to define job positions and support employee development
This essential resource is now available for download on the AL!VE website. Whether you are a volunteer manager, nonprofit leader, or HR professional, this report offers valuable tools to elevate the field of volunteer engagement.
