Developing Meaningful Roles for Volunteers
Morning Session – 8:30 am – 12:00 pm
Developing roles for volunteers is an aspect of volunteer management that
gets little attention compared to the more popular topics of recruitment and retention.
Yet without well-designed, meaningful and motivating volunteer roles, it is
often much harder to retain volunteers. This workshop will provide a method –
and outline the key issues to consider – for developing such volunteer roles.
The Philosophy of Volunteering
Afternoon Session – 1:00 pm – 4:30 pm
There is nothing as practical as a good theory. In this workshop you’ll
have the chance to explore what you believe about volunteering – what it is,
what it isn’t, why you think that – and consider what this might mean for
your work as a volunteer manager. The workshop will be highly interactive and
is always a bit provocative and a lot of fun.
