Presented by the Skagit Volunteer Center, a service of Community Action of Skagit County
Learn effective techniques for involving community volunteers as part of your agency’s overall Community Engagement Strategy. Polish up existing volunteer manuals, policies and procedures, or create a new one for the agency as a whole and/or several specific programs. Review recent trends in volunteerism, each stage of volunteer engagement, and share best practices with other volunteer managers from diverse nonprofit and government agencies. Each participant will leave the workshop series with at least an outline, detailed to-do list, templates, and timeline for completing a Volunteer Engagement Handbook. Each module of the workshop will include a special focus on how to engage youth volunteers in each phase of the volunteer engagement cycle.
