The sustainability of volunteering efforts depends not only on good intentions, but also on strong communication, healthy community dynamics, and the right management tools. For everyone who wants to maintain volunteer motivation, strengthen engagement, and support a culture of collective contribution, effective communication plays a critical role.

Needs Map (İhtiyaç Haritası) is one of the leading organisations managing a broad volunteering ecosystem, ranging from crisis response to long-term social impact projects. Birbey Kılınçcı, Director of Project, Field Operations, and Volunteering Unit at Needs Map, will share the core principles of effective communication in volunteering, the dynamics encountered in community management, and practical approaches that work in the field.

The webinar will address communication strategies that increase volunteer motivation, ways of managing interaction among volunteers, conflict resolution and feedback mechanisms, and how digital tools can be used to manage volunteer communities more effectively. Drawing on real field experience, the session will offer a guiding framework for those who want to make their volunteering efforts stronger, more inclusive, and more sustainable.

If you want to manage volunteer communities in a more conscious, resilient, and effective way, do not miss this event. Apply now and reserve your place. The webinar will be held via the ILA Talks mobile application as part of the International Year of Volunteers activities. The event is free of charge, and participants will receive Turkish-English certificates of participation at the end of the session.
