Does your role on campus involve interacting with or managing volunteers? Volunteers are a unique population and thus, a unique approach is required to successfully integrate volunteers into your practice. Drawing on learnings from courses taken through Humber College’s Volunteer Management Leadership certificate program, this session will discuss best practices and current trends in the field of Volunteer Management. Using theories and national standards, this session will look at the cycle of a volunteer, how to engage partners, and ways to strengthen a volunteer program. Participants will have the opportunity to share ideas and engage in discussion with the ultimate goal of developing strong volunteers and a successful volunteer experience for all stakeholders. Finally, resources for further learning will be shared and discussed.
