Supervising Volunteers: :
Today’s effective supervisor encourages paid staff and volunteers to be increasingly involved in decisions that involve them and to take more responsibility for their actions.
The goal of supervising volunteers is to establish conditions that encourage and support others to get the work done. Participants will understand and describe the role of supervisor; discover the similarities and uniqueness of supervising salaried versus non-paid staff; assess their competence in supervision skills; and explore various methods of supervising volunteers.

Delegating to Volunteers :
Delegating to Volunteers: May 21, 2010
Until we examine our attitudinal roadblocks toward delegation and learn some effective procedures and techniques, we will continue to experience dramatic turnover and burnout in our service endeavors.
Delegating is basically the accomplishment of the organization’s mission and goals through the efforts of others. Participants will acknowledge any personal resistance to delegation; identify the values of responsible delegation; explain the difference between doing, directing, dumping, and delegating; understand key procedures and technical skills involved with delegating; and propose appropriate levels of authority when delegating.

Mutual Performance Reviews :
Organizations that attempt to maximize volunteer participation see a mutual assessment time, as a time to look at what additional support the organization needs to offer volunteers to ensure success.
It is a mutual way to express appreciation, identify problems and needs, determine volunteer’s future involvement in the organization, and hold the volunteer and organization accountable for their commitment to one another. Participants will define a mutual performance review process for volunteers that fit into the total supervision and support system of the organization; identify the purposes, benefits and barriers of instituting or enhancing a mutual performance review process; and target potential outcomes of mutual performance reviews of volunteers.

TRAIL OF HISTORY Orientation for New Volunteers :
Individuals and families have enjoyed stepping back in time at the Trail of History at Glacial Park for over twenty years! Did you know that you can be a part of the Trail this year? No experience is necessary - just an interest in history and enthusiasm for this very special event!

Volunteer Motivation :
We are frequently caught up in the faulty thinking: “How can I motivate my volunteers?”
We can’t motivate people; we can only provide situations which help others motivate themselves. Participants will underscore that success in volunteer programs involves matching an organization’s needs with a volunteer’s ability and motivation; explain the variety of reasons of why people volunteer today; determine their own personal motivation style and its impact on volunteer placement, supervision, and recognition preferences; and examine motivation theory In light of the organization’s ability to attract and retain volunteers.

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.

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.

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.

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.
