Entrance & exit Counseling Assessment Exercise

Entrance and exit counseling is a good practice technique for introducing and separating a volunteer from the organization.  Entrance counseling gives a new volunteer some personal time with a representative of the organization, allowing them to get an overview of the entire organization, down to what duties and responsibilities the volunteer will engage in and why they are important to the group. On the other hand, exit counseling offers an opportunity to recognize the volunteer for his/her service and/or encourage or assist the person in understanding why they didnt fit the mission, goals, or culture.
