Whether you don't yet have any volunteers or have been working with volunteers for a while, getting these basics in place will reap great rewards. You'll be able to head off any issues with volunteers not understanding their responsibilities and you'll be clear about yours.
Included in the course:
- Definition and types of volunteering
- Importance and contribution of volunteers
- Embedding volunteering in organisations
- Planning for volunteering
- Key documents including volunteer agreements and policies
- Rights and responsibilities of volunteers and organisations
Who should attend?
Anyone who has, or is expecting to have, responsibility for recruiting or managing volunteers in their organisation. Your organisation should be providing a service in Fife.
In order to offer places to as many organisations as possible, we are only able to offer two places on each date to members of the same organisation. If your organisation would like to send more than 2 people, please get in touch with us to discuss options.
Additional Information
