You've completed the recruitment process, and found the right volunteer with the right skills - now what? A letter of agreement ensures both you and the volunteer clearly understand and agree on the project's end goal, expected deliverables and time commitment.

Use of this tool will improve project execution by providing a formalized process to discuss expectations and accountability.
In this toolkit you'll find a Volunteer Letter of Agreement template as well as two samples of a Vantage Point Letters of Agreement we recently created for actual roles on our external talent team.
