Strategic Volunteer Engagement - steps to success

Despite the headlines, it is possible to recruit and retain volunteers in our post-pandemic world. But doing so requires a change in mindset and approach. Doing what we’ve always done won’t get us what we’ve always got anymore. The world has changed.

Led by internationally renowned volunteering expert, Rob Jackson, this course will help you understand the changes taking place in volunteering, why they are occurring, what you can do to adapt, and will start you on the path to developing an effective volunteer engagement strategy.
