SUMMARY: 5 Steps to Building a Stellar Volunteer Team

• Are you a volunteer coordinator who is frustrated because volunteers cancel shifts with little (or no) notice, or work for a month or two, then disappear? 
• Are you a leader 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? 

Then this class is for you! 

Together, we will work through 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.
