Volunteer Programming for Maximum Impact
About the Course
Whether you are building a new volunteer program or revitalizing your current strategies, the Volunteer Programming for Maximum Impact course will help you develop goals and implement strategies for effecting change in your organization. The curriculum is designed by UServeUtah and combines years of industry expertise, comprehensive resources, and the latest developments in the field of volunteer programming.
Despite the significant benefits of volunteerism, too often organizations lack the knowledge and resources to strategically maximize the advantages. Savvy leaders recognize the connection between investing in their volunteer program and advancing organizational growth.
This course approaches change as a process rather than a one-time event. Developing and implementing a change management strategy for volunteer programming delivers organizations a return as high as 6x. This training provides a path for participating organizations to create that strategy to maximize their impact.
The Volunteer Programming for Maximum Impact course is an engaging and interactive training with coaching by subject-matter experts. This two-day course is in-person and gives participants opportunities to network with other industry professionals.
