Course Description

Course Overview: 

This course will introduce all the components of an effective Volunteer Management program from Recruitment, Screening, Training and Orientation, Support and Recognition, to Policies and risk management. We will learn how and when volunteers are great to use, and when not to. We will learn how to value volunteer time to help your bottom line, as well as how to recognize all the hidden costs of managing volunteers. Hint: They aren’t free! We will also discuss how volunteers can become great advocates and donors for your organization as champions of your mission. The intended audience for this course is a paid staff member of a nonprofit with some supervisory experience. We will be discussing developing a robust volunteer program, not just the management of a handful of people.
