| dc.description.abstract | Women In The Future (WITF) is a volunteer-based social organization that focuses
on gender equality and women’s capacity development through various
educational, advocacy, and training programs. The purpose of this study is to
explore the volunteer management strategies implemented by WITF in supporting
women empowerment programs. This research adopts a qualitative descriptive
method with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, observation,
and documentation. The theoretical framework used is Connors’ Volunteer
Management Model known as PEP (Preparation, Engagement, Perpetuation),
which consists of three stages: preparation, engagement, and perpetuation. The
study also examines women’s empowerment within WITF using Nugroho’s
empowerment indicators: access, participation, control, and benefit. The results
show that WITF applies a structured volunteer management strategy by involving
volunteers from the recruitment stage to capacity development, and provides
opportunities for volunteers to actively contribute in designing and implementing
programs. Furthermore, WITF has implemented empowerment strategies based on
the indicators of access, participation, control, and benefit. However, there are still
several limitations in practice, such as in training for coordinators, volunteer
recognition, fundraising, and performance evaluation. Despite these challenges,
WITF is able to maintain program sustainability and foster strong relationships
between volunteers and the organization. This research is expected to contribute to
the development of volunteer management in social organizations focused on
women’s empowerment. | en_US |
