Volunteer Glasgow: Smarter Volunteer Manager Programme (October – November)
About this event
Volunteer Glasgow’s online Smarter Volunteer Manager (SVM) programme is available to all UK-based Volunteering Involving Organisations.
The Smarter Volunteer Manager Programme, over 6 sessions, will:
- Improve your volunteer recruitment and retention rates
- Enhance the experience that your volunteers have with your organisation
- Establish a firm foundation for your Volunteering Programme that meets the needs of your organisation, its goals and ethos
Anyone who manages volunteers or a volunteering programme – or aspires to do so – should consider the SVM Programme as an investment which will reward you, your volunteers and your organisation. Whatever the scale or stage of development of your organisation, SVM will cater to your needs.
Group size is limited so that each participant’s experience and learning needs are taken into account. Your experience will benefit others because learning is peer-led, interactive and engaging.
SVM Programme Objectives
- Explore aspects of volunteer motivation and why this is fundamental to the successful recruitment and management of volunteers.
- Learn to apply the Dynamic Model and initiate a role analysis; assess your understanding through practical application.
- Begin outlining shared expectations for the volunteer, the organisation, and the beneficiaries served.
- Examine a range of best practice examples of Volunteer Management.
The 18-hour programme, plus Workbook, online resources, and post-programme support, costs £250. If you have a volunteer management role as part of a third sector (not-for-profit) group or organisation, and the group’s annual income is less than £20k, you can apply for a free place.
October – November programme dates:
Places are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are limited to six.
- Wednesday 14th October
- Wednesday 21st October
- Wednesday 28th October
- Wednesday 4th November
- Wednesday 11th November
- Wednesday 25th November
Please note: a two-week gap is provided before the last session to prepare for participants’ ‘Present Your Vision’ session.
