This is a short, free Volunteer Management course on Understanding your Volunteers.
This course is suited to anyone who is new to volunteer management or has spent less that two years managing volunteers.
This course is built to help you get to know your volunteers better.
It will help you understand their motivations for volunteering, which tend to be surprisingly similar across most demographics.
It will help you understand how to use these motivations to create a better, more satisfying and more impactful volunteer program.
It will help you understand how to motivate your volunteers more effectively and how to maintain that motivation over time.
It will help you understand some core elements of building a volunteer program that can retain volunteers over time (reducing the need for expensive and time consuming recruitment programs) and keep them satisfied and motivated.
It will also give you some insight into some core questions you should ask your volunteers and when to ask them, to make sure you're getting the most important information before they start.
This course is all about setting you and your volunteers up for success.
This course is shorter than my other courses and offered free, the style is a bit more relaxed but I hope you will still find value in it. Please feel free to leave feedback throughout the course and let me know if there's any other things you'd like me to talk about in future.
See you in the course!

Starting out as a volunteer for an animal protection charity while I was working in South Korea, I began, like most Volunteer Managers, with very little knowledge or experience. I built my knowledge and experience over more than a decade, carried out my own research and successfully gained a Certificate in Volunteer Administration to improve my knowledge and better understand the best practises for Volunteer Management.
I have worked with multiple organisations in sectors including: animal welfare, environmental activism, health and social activism; to improve their volunteer programs, increase the number of their volunteers and deliver volunteer programs that better serve the organisation's mission and service users.
I am passionate about volunteer retention. Anyone can build a volunteer program, but how long do your volunteers stay? The trick to any successful program is retaining experienced, passionate and motivated volunteers over time. In my courses I will teach you everything I've learned about building a volunteer program and taking care of your volunteers so that they keep coming back, year after year.
