It would depend on the issue. Are you not getting enough volunteers? Then I would evaluate how outreach and recruitment of volunteers. Are volunteers leaving too soon? Then I would evaluate onboarding, training, support and recognition of volunteers. If part of the issue is lack of staff capacity to support the volunteers, then I would gather people within the organization to brainstorm ways in which the agency can better support volunteers. Do the staff need training? Do we need a dedicated volunteer coordinator? So, the long answer is, identify the "root" issues, and develop strategies to address those issues (or, opportunities, as I like to call them).
