Equipping Staff to Successfully Engage Volunteers

About this event

Interested in increasing volunteer retention and creating buy-in with your colleagues?
 Then this is the workshop for you!

At the center of meaningful volunteer engagement and gaining staff buy-in is equipping staff to see the value and benefits of successful volunteer collaboration and engagement.
As organizations evolve, one constant is the importance of ensuring that volunteers feel seen, valued, and have positive experiences with staff.

Together, we will tackle this topic by sharing time-tested MAVA recommendations for cultivating an environment of collaboration and bringing staff buy-in to a new level.
This interactive session will highlight new insights, innovative tools, and spark inspiration to synergize staff and volunteer relationships.

In this workshop, you will:
  • Learn how to gain buy in from staff and organization leaders
  • Attain tools and skills to support the staff at your organization
  • Learn tips for creating a training for staff who supervise volunteers

Facilitators:
This training will be co-facilitated by 

Polly Roach and Niila Hebert.
