BURLINGTON, ON

Whether you’re new to the volunteer management profession, or looking to re-energize and upgrade your knowledge, this 2-day in-person training experience has you covered. Over the course of two interactive, full-day workshops, we’ll explore the entirety of the volunteer engagement cycle, taking deep dives into planning, recruitment, screening, onboarding, supervision, retention, and more. You’ll hear from experts in the field while building the essential components of your own approach. Plus, you’ll leave at the end of the second day with your own workbook filled with ideas, next steps, templates, and more. Lunch will be provided both days, and we’ll have plenty of refreshments and opportunities to connect with peers throughout the program.

By the end of the two training days, participants will:

-A detailed understanding of the volunteer management cycle

-Templates and tools to plan and recruit for volunteer roles effectively

-Insight into appropriate, respectful screening

-Tips for planning orientation and training that engages volunteers

-Resources for successful supervision, support, and retention

-New ideas to inform successful, meaningful involvement throughout the volunteer’s engagement

-Suggestions for keeping the learning going

Registrants must commit to attend both training days: June 2 and June 9. Workshops will be held at the Joseph Brant Museum, Shoreline Room, 1240 North Shore Blvd E, Burlington.
