Warm Body Recruitment: This is when you need a large number of volunteers for a short period and the qualifications to complete the task are minimal.
Targeted Recruitment: Targeted campaigns require a carefully planned approach geared toward a small audience.
Concentric Circles Recruitment: This type of recruitment requires you to identify and contact people who already are in direct or indirect contact with your organization.

LET'S GET DIGITAL!
“The most notable feature of volunteer management software is the benefit of being able to attract and retain volunteers. Volunteer management solutions allow nonprofit organizations to easily create landing pages for volunteer opportunities. These opportunities can be shared across marketing platforms such as your nonprofit’s website, and social media accounts to increase visibility.”

“Volunteer management practices are only part of the picture...
In addition to adopting certain management practices…
charities can provide a culture that is welcoming to volunteers, allocate sufficient resources to
support them, and enlist volunteers in recruiting other volunteers.
All of these practices help charities to achieve higher rates of retention.”

Retention is an outcome, not an activity.
You can identify tasks that lead to successful recruitment or supervision or recognition.
But, there are no special techniques to "retain" volunteers.
Be realistic in your expectations of duration and then o er volunteers meaningful work in a welcoming environment.
The payo will be volunteers as committed as employees. https://www.energizeinc.com/art/volunteer-retention
“By treating volunteers as the valuable resource they are, nonprofits get more challenging work done, reap the benefit of more volunteer hours, and incur fewer costs associated with having to replace lost volunteers each year.”
