It aims to explore the principles and procedures for the effective management and motivation of volunteers.

This course gives participants the opportunity to consider:

• attitudes and values to volunteer involvement in their organisation;
• reasons people volunteer (evidence);
• the value of management tools in volunteer management.

Using clear and fair policies and procedures in managing volunteers; taking account of their varying support needs and being aware of the need to give volunteers recognition are important tasks for volunteer managers.
