Managing volunteers
"Volunteers - ordinary people, extraordinary contribution."
Working with volunteers is a core part of the work of many different organisations. But to ensure that everyone gets lasting benefits from this relationship, volunteer services need to be carefully planned and managed.
The New Zealand Federation of Voluntary Welfare Organisation (NZVWO) has published a practical manual that offers easy reference to a huge range of issues involved in volunteer programmes.
- Who volunteers, and why?
- How to go about setting up good volunteer positions
- Do we need a job description? Where do we start?
- What about when things don't work out as we expect?
- What should be covered in volunteer training?
- What support and recognition do volunteers need?
- What are the legal implications of using volunteers?
Managing Volunteers is designed for use as a reference guide with well laid-out chapters - lots of bullet points and numerous headings to help you easily find hints on specific topics
