add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
This is a 6 week online course that you do at your own pace, beginning with a mandatory 1 day session on Sept 12th, from 10am-3pm.
Volunteers are an integral part of the fabric of Canadian society. In 2010, 13.3 million people in Canada (47% of the population) volunteered a total of 2.07 billion hours.[1]
The number of volunteers is growing faster than the Canadian population. With this expansion comes the increasingly urgent need for organizations to have in place transparent and professional volunteer engagement and management practices.
Who this course is for: Whether you’re thinking about entering the volunteer management field, are new to the practice or have several years of experience managing a volunteer program this course will ground you in recognized best practices, expose you to trends in the field and offer you effective management approaches.
The program begins with a one-day face-to-face launch and six weeks of on-line learning. Participants should plan to invest an average of 5-10 hours per week over the duration of the program.
During that time, through collaborative assignments, personal reflection, and structured activities participants will learn how to:
plan a successful volunteer program,
recruit and screen potential volunteers,
orient, train, supervise and recognize volunteers effectively within your program, and evaluate and market your program effectively.
organizational readiness and planning
