How do you ensure that program and operational staff can support volunteers who serve in their departments? One hour workshops just aren’t sufficient. Engaging volunteers is not just the responsibility of the designated volunteer coordinator – most everyone in an organization interacts with volunteers and so having the knowledge, tools, and resources to engage volunteers effectively is vitally important.
Building on last year’s session, Beth Steinhorn, President of VQ Volunteer Strategies, will explore key elements beyond training, including clarifying roles and responsibilities, ensuring sufficient infrastructure, and embracing your role as an internal consultant. Leave with ideas and tools to prepare, equip, support, and empower your colleagues to strategically partner with volunteers and enhance your organization’s impact.
What You’ll Gain:
- A broader understanding of the many ways to train fellow staff (beyond the traditional hourlong workshop).
- A process to clarify roles and responsibilities for engaging volunteers throughout their lifecycle.
- A checklist to ensure at least the minimum of infrastructure and resources.
- A new understanding of how you can position yourself as an internal consultant to support your colleagues and the volunteers they engage.
Join us for this insightful session and gain practical tools to empower your colleagues and elevate your volunteer program. Secure your place today and take the next step in strengthening volunteer engagement across your organization!
