What will you learn?

This workshop will provide a sound overview of the National Standards for Volunteer Involvement, a framework to assist volunteer leaders to build quality volunteer management programs.The National Standards contain benchmarks specifically designed to help organisations attract, manage, recognise and retain volunteers, and to manage risk and safety with respect to volunteers.

During this 3 hour, participatory and highly practical workshop, you will:

• Build your understanding of the importance of developing policies and procedures – and the tools available to assist with implementing the National Standards

• Expand your knowledge, skills and gain confidence to develop the best benchmarking approach for your organisation

• Be able to adapt tools, resources and practices to cater for short term, flexible volunteering.

What to expect on the day

The workshop will include a number of presentations, group discussions and networking opportunities.
