Certificate in Volunteer Management

Volunteers provide a unique human resource that can enhance an organization’s ability to achieve its mission, priorities, and goals. A well-trained volunteer manager is key to the success of a volunteer program.

As nonprofits and governmental agencies face the prospect of significant funding cuts, the need for well-managed and well-trained volunteers will be more critical than ever. Fortunately, there are increasing numbers of highly skilled individuals seeking volunteer opportunities.

Wendy Biro-Pollard and Kathleen McCleskey of Long and Short Associates with ACC’s Center for Community Based & Nonprofit Organizations is offering a certificate-driven series of workshops that provide volunteer management basics and beyond. This series is guaranteed to assist area nonprofits, associations and governmental agencies in building a successful volunteer engagement program and enhancing organizational capacity. 

All sessions have been recognized by the Council for Certification in Volunteer Administration and will cover the Council’s Core Competencies for Managers of Volunteer Resources.

The Certificate in Volunteer Management is four full days of learning from and with nationally recognized volunteer management experts.

Certificate dates are: January 16-17 and February 6-7, 2013, Austin, TX.
