Effective Volunteer Management Training Course

Few people are aware of the differences between managing volunteers and managing paid staff.

Volunteering is becoming more popular than ever before, but with so many opportunities for volunteering available – projects that rely on volunteers must make sure that the people who manage their volunteers are well equipped to provide the support needed.

This one day workshop is a great way for new and experienced volunteer managers alike to explore how to effectively manage yourself and your volunteers.  Effective Volunteer Management training will help you understand the voluntary sector and the role of the volunteer manager more fully.  Usually delivered by the author of The Volunteer Managers Handbook (ebook) (link), this course covers:

• planning to work with volunteers (including writing a role description);
• the recruitment and selection of volunteers;
• strategies for retaining existing volunteers;
• the legal issues surrounding volunteer management;
• approaches for dealing with common problems and ending a volunteering relationship.
