This course is designed to provide a powerful combination of volunteer management theory and practical application. Past students have recommended this course to other volunteer professionals to increase their effectiveness, advance their careers and achieve personal growth. Persons relatively new to the volunteer sector, aiming to enter the sector or who require the practical or theoretical background will stand to gain the most from this certificate. Invaluable networking opportunities will benefit everyone.
Course topics include: motivation, communication and problem solving techniques to manage others; minimizing risk; conflict resolution; recruiting, screening and interviewing and retaining volunteers; orientation and training techniques; group dynamics; managing programs; marketing your program; volunteer, staff, board and client relations; current trends.
Practical experience through a field placement will provide a variety of contacts and resources, and create a peer support network that extends beyond the course experience. The field placement provides a wonderful opportunity to try new things in a practice environment, guided by a mentor who demonstrates excellence in the voluntary sector. The time commitment depends on the work history of the student and will not exceed 60 hours.
