Training For Volunteer Managers

To increase professionalism in volunteer management, VSA&NT offers many training opportunities to support Volunteer Managers and Coordinators in their day-to-day roles as well as those which provide on-going professional development.

National Standards Workshop for Volunteer Involving Organisations

National Standards Training - Best Practice is a 2-day Workshop designed to increase professionalism in volunteering through quality assurance and accreditation system.

The next session is on Wed 22 & Thurs 23 September 2010. Click here for the flyer.

A good volunteer program requires an understanding of a number of important parts:

what do you need your volunteers to do
who will manage them
how often do they need to be there etc.
This workshop sets the benchmark for best practice: a well managed program and volunteers who are engaged will have expectations satisfied.

The National Standards is a best practice framework that identifies the 8 key facets of a good volunteer program and is led by consultant Teresa Forest.

Phone VSA&NT on 8221 7177 or email reception@volunteeringsa.org.au for more information on dates.

NB: These modules are fee for service. discount applies for VSA&NT members.

The next National Standards Training will be in Spring. Keep an eye on the Training Calendar.
