September Pro Roundup for Volunteer Coordinators

Welcome to September, volunteer coordinators! Fresh starts abound as the air cools down (maybe?) and kids head back to school. For many of us, volunteer recruitment shifts into a new gear as families move back into familiar routines. For others, our eyes are already focused on the end of the calendar year where special events abound.

When we start moving into this phase, we naturally start thinking about volunteer training. Specifically, we’re thinking about how to do volunteer training, when, and where. If you’re one of those volunteer coordinators who is thinking about refreshing your training this fall, this roundup is for you.

From facilitation trips, some thoughts on e-learning and a little bit about ways to better leverage your time, we’ve got you covered in this month’s Pro Roundup.

Enjoy!
