The PAVRO Professional Development Team is Proud to Present:
5 Steps to Building a Stellar Volunteer Team with Karen Knight
September 21, 2022 at 12:00 PM ET (Noon)
Registration will be open until September 20th at 12PM EST.
*Space is limited. If capacity is reached registration may close sooner.
Workshop Abstract:
Are you a volunteer coordinator who is frustrated because your volunteers cancel shifts with little (or no!) notice, or work for a month or two, then disappear?
Are you a manager of volunteers who is having trouble finding enough qualified volunteers to run your programs?
As an executive director, are you spending too much of your time trying to recruit and manage volunteers?
This interactive class is for you!
We will cover the five elements of an effective volunteer program: recruiting, training, managing, program review and appreciation.
What you'll learn:
- How to find and sign up enough of the right volunteers.
- How to onboard and train in such a way as to reduce or eliminate volunteer mistakes.
- How to have respectful and appreciative relations between staff and volunteers.
- How to keep volunteers happy & engaged for the long term.
With the right team of volunteers, you can increase your impact without increasing resources.
