Course content: Manage Volunteers

Volunteers are at the heart of many organisations but managing and supporting them well takes time, thought and the right approach.

What we will cover:

• Creating a volunteer policy that works, why it matters and what to include
• Designing meaningful roles that are clear, rewarding and aligned with your organisations needs
• Planning a smooth induction process so volunteers feel confident from day one
• Recruiting the right volunteers, where to find them and how to make sure they’re a good fit
• Providing ongoing support to keep volunteers motivated and achieving
• Guidance and sources of support

This course will help you to build strong foundations for volunteer management, giving clear guidance you can put into practice straight away.
