The Essentials of Volunteer Engagement (Online Workshop)
The Essentials of Volunteer Engagement (Online Workshop)
In this session, we’ll explore best practice in volunteer engagement and learn practical tips that can help ensure a positive relationship between your organisation and your volunteers.
No matter the number or size of your volunteer programme, this interactive training will help you attract and select suitable volunteers and provide a positive experience for all.
The training is packed with practical advice that you can use immediately and there will be opportunities to explore these topics with your peers during the workshop. We will also explore the impacts on volunteering currently and discuss what you can do to ensure your programme continues to be successful and positive experience for those involved.
There will also be opportunities for questions and discussions with other participants and the trainer.
By the end of this session you’ll understand the fundamentals of volunteer engagement and understand why prevention is better than cure in terms of your volunteer programme.
