Measuring the Impact of Volunteers

28 April 2013 By Community Research Admin 3 Comments

In an increasingly outcome driven world, how can the voluntary sector measure the difference they make? An awesome resource:impact chain

Nataly Noguer-Blue (Victoria University) collaborated with Volunteering New Zealand to compile a literature review examining international models for measuring the impact of volunteers.

The summary provides an overview of the findings and includes a table summarising the main methods that can be used and links to examples and resources. The full report provides a fuller examination of the methods.

Methods include:

  • Benefit-Cost Analysis
  • Social Return on Investment
  • Logical Framework
  • Theory of Change
  • Outcome Mapping
  • Most Significant Change
  • Life Story Approach

and more.
