This interactive session will help you effectively manage volunteers at your organisation. The Volunteer Best Practice Guidelines provide a framework to consider and review your own practice, and learn from others.

The session includes insights into managing challenging behaviour and problem solving, and is aimed at novices right through to experts in volunteer management.

We will explore the practice areas:

Recruiting and engaging volunteers
Welcoming and onboarding volunteers
Volunteer support, leadership, and management
Train and grow volunteers
Feedback and recognition
Celebrate volunteer impact
Exiting Volunteers

We will be learning from everyone in the room, including you!

The workshop will be based on the Volunteering New Zealand's 'Best Practice Guidelines.' You can access these on our website here.

We will provide you morning tea and a light lunch. You'll be asked your dietary requirements when you register.

Registration is from 9:15am. Entry to venue from Pātaka Art + Museum.
