Wednesday 25 January 2023, 10.30am to 1.00pm, on Zoom
This practical, interactive, online (Zoom) session will provide an overview of the essential aspects of managing volunteers or coordinating a volunteering programme. It is aimed both at staff who are fairly new to managing volunteers (or have not previously had any formal training) as well as those who need a refresher. By the end of the course, you will:
- understand the key principles of good practice in managing, supporting and motivating volunteers, and have identified good practice at each key stage of a “volunteer journey” (eg enquiry, application, interview, induction, support and supervision, exit) as well as in developing roles and managing risks.
- understand the policies and procedures you should have in place to recruit and safeguard volunteers
- know where to find practical support with volunteer management
- have identified actions that you can take back to your organisation to improve how volunteers are managed.
Priority will be given to voluntary sector organisations with a base/office in Tower Hamlets, or that have services aimed at Tower Hamlets residents. * Cost: Our training programme is kindly subsidised by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The session is FREE to voluntary sector and public sector organisations with a base/office in Tower Hamlets, or that have services specifically aimed at Tower Hamlets residents. However, there is a non-attendance charge if you do not attend without giving 48 hours’ notice. For any organisation without a base or services in Tower Hamlets, the session costs £50 per person.
