What if Volunteer Recruitment Wasn't the Problem?

What if Volunteer Recruitment Wasn't the Problem?

What if people still want to volunteer — they just don’t want to do it the way our systems expect them to? In this episode of Making a Ruckus, Tracey O’Neill challenges one of the biggest myths in volunteer engagement: the “recruitment problem.”

We keep hearing it: “No one wants to volunteer anymore.”
But what if that’s not true?

Tracey explores how outdated processes, rigid roles, and under-resourced leadership have created unnecessary barriers — and why the real challenge isn’t recruitment at all, it’s system design.

You’ll hear:

  • What the data really says about the shift from formal to informal volunteering.
  • Real quotes from sector leaders who are rethinking the future of engagement.
  • How volunteer engagement needs a seat at the strategy table.
  • Why systems built with community — not for them — are the key to belonging.
  • Six practical ways to make volunteering easier, faster, and more human.


Because volunteering doesn’t need fixing — it needs reimagining.
