Volunteer Manager Support

Volunteer management is a professional and highly-skilled position. A volunteer manager can be paid or unpaid staff member who recruits, trains, or supervises volunteers for an eligible entity for at least 50% of their job. Finding professional development related to engaging volunteers and/or securing funding for such training can be impossible. In addition, one of the top reasons that volunteer engagement staff leave non-profits is due to inadequate training and support.

For volunteers, training is an increasingly important aspect of attracting, supporting, retaining, and rewarding volunteers. With the diversity of volunteers and the variety of roles and activities they participate in, training provides volunteers with the broad range of skills they need to be effective, competent, and confident.

We provide grants, training, and technical assistance to help Volunteer Managers achieve their goals.
