Date of Training: 9/12/2010 : Volunteer Recognition : Recognition needs to be considered an integral part of a total management philosophy that continually seeks to notice and value individual contributions. Powerful and meaningful recognition begins when we recognize the talents and desires of prospective volunteers. Participants will get in touch with the power of recognition in their own lives; surface any personal and organizational barriers to giving volunteer recognition and problem solve solutions; clarify the broad spectrum of ways volunteers can be recognized; brainstorm minimal cost recognition; and describe essential guidelines of effective recognition.

Date of Training: 10/15/2010 : Handling Volunteer Performance Problems : Supervisors of volunteers need to be comfortable confronting volunteers with concerns and working together to solve problems. Organizations need to have fairly applied policies and procedures for a volunteer’s dismissal, probation, suspension, and grievances. Participants will appreciate why it is critical to deal with performance gaps in a timely and effective manner; describe the range of frequent volunteer performance problems; confront and explore appropriate solutions for volunteer performance problems; apply techniques of dismissing a volunteer.

Date of Training: 11/19/2010 : Volunteer Program Evaluation : If we can carry out thoughtful evaluations that seek to answer important questions, both quantitative and qualitative, about our programs, these programs are more likely to succeed. A volunteer program that is “doing nice things” simply is not enough in today’s world of diminishing resources. Participants will identify steps needed to establish a volunteer program evaluation; explore four types of volunteer program evaluation; learn to identify stakeholders who need results of the evaluation communicated to them.

Date of Training: 12/17/2010 : Volunteer Recruitment : Everyone can relate to the consequences to the new volunteer and to the organization when the wrong person is recruited. Often when an organization is involved in volunteer recruitment, they are so anxious to fill slots or add to the membership that little care is given to find the right people. Participants will understand what recruitment is and the impact of doing it well; list objectives and barriers that people might have to volunteering at their organization and some strategies to over come them; design an effective recruitment message; and describe the characteristics of effective recruiters.
