Erin Spink, MA, Founder of spinktank
Erin Spink’s interest in volunteers started at the age of six when she pronounced that while it was wrong to eat animals, hamburgers at McDonald’s came from “volunteer cows” and therefore an exception could be made.
She completed a Certificate with Distinction in Volunteer Program Management, followed by an M.A. (Leadership) where she completed the first-ever academic research quantifying the concept of “volunteer engagement."
She has additionally authored multiple research pieces including a study of the impact of the political landscape on volunteerism as well as the changes the pandemic on volunteer engagement.
