Volunteer Manager Training
The VCSE sector already has a great track record in working with volunteers. In the current climate, when funding is tight, having a team of volunteers to call on is more important than ever.
Our volunteer management training courses will help you to ensure that you recruit the right volunteers for your organisation and manage them so as to harness their skills and experience effectively.
We have developed our volunteer management support around the Volunteer Journey. The Volunteer Journey is how an organisation enables a diverse range of people to volunteer, ensuring they feel supported, valued and can measure their impact. With an outcome that every volunteer has an enjoyable experience and tells others.
Our volunteer management training courses will help you navigate your Volunteer Journey to ensure that you Plan, Include, Support and Celebrate your volunteers.
Community Action Suffolk training courses include:
- Introduction to involving volunteers: Plan and Include
- Introduction to involving volunteers: Support and Celebrate
- Introduction to volunteers and the law
- Dealing with challenging volunteer situations
- Innovative approaches to volunteering
