According to the Association for Volunteer Management, the case for Volunteer Resources Management is as follows:

1. Volunteers need support and leadership to be most effective and to sustain their commitment and involvement.

2. Volunteers are a necessary and critical resource for healthy communities.

3. Mobilizing citizens to volunteer is very challenging in today’s environment due to competition and lack of discretionary time.

4. Nonprofit and public organizations need help meeting this challenge. They must develop or enhance their capacity (skills, knowledge, and abilities) to effectively recruit, focus and support volunteer resources.

5. Competent leaders and managers build organizational and community capacity to maximize volunteer resources to meet community needs.   

What others are saying about this training:

“Even after 30 years of working with nonprofit organizations as a speaker and trainer, I had plenty to learn from with the content offered in the Volunteer Management Certification course. The United Way’s Volunteer Center provides a great service by offering this program.  It will be well worth the time for every participant”.

"Wow!  What an amazing Volunteer Training class! I cannot tell you how much I benefited from the training session.  I feel 100% prepared to begin our Volunteer Program at The House Next Door.  I now have job descriptions, applications, and volunteer flyers and I am ready to begin! Thanks so much for you help and support and thanks to the help of the United Way, I feel confident and prepared to begin this exciting adventure.  Thanks also for your assistance in making so many wonderful contacts in our community and for your continued support."

The Volunteer Management Training Series was outstanding.  I received so much information on how to better utilize our recruitment efforts, how to manage a volunteer program and get the most out of it, both for my agency and the volunteers involved.  We also learned how to retain those volunteers, and so much more.  The networking among the students was very beneficial.  I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone involved in any type of volunteer program.

Being new to the world of professional volunteer management, this class gave me a very thorough overview of everything I need to know to manage volunteers – with samples, templates, and references to go back to the office and do it. It was completely professional and fun!
