Join us for Spring 2007 Volunteer Management Training!
Do you want to learn how to attract and retain volunteers that have the skills and commitment you need to grow your organization? Do you want to have access to a comprehensive assessment tool that will help you identify the strengths and weaknesses in your organization? The Volunteer Center of Battle Creek is pleased to offer the Volunteer Management Training Series on an annual basis. The trainings are intended for volunteer managers in both the non-profit and corporate sectors. The information provided is helpful both for those who are new to the field and those who have some experience. A Certificate of Completion is awarded to all participants who attend and complete the training sessions, and all participants will come away with tools and templates that can be put to use right away.

Session I A comprehensive review of how to lay the foundation for a successful program and for recruiting volunteers for that program. This session will teach you how to devise a recruitment strategy and how to use it. You’ll learn how to write effective job descriptions, and get tips on how to screen applicants in the interview process. We’ll also review recognition techniques and discuss why your board and staff need to be involved in the support of your volunteers.

Learn how a solid orientation and on-going training will increase retention. Add supervisory skills through a review of risk management, reporting relationships, evaluation, placement assessment, record keeping, and termination. |
