Training Services

Volunteering Waikato provides a range of training opportunities to help community organisations ensure they are using best practice principles in volunteer management.

Managing a team of volunteers is very different in managing paid staff, and it is vital to know the difference. The success of many organisations in our community is reliant on maintaining a team of well selected, orientated, trained and supported volunteers.

Our workshops will help you and your volunteers get the best experience out of their decision to volunteer - improving retention and satisfaction.

Managing volunteers when thing 'go wrong' can also be a challenge, and again we provide workshops to deal with any issues that may come up regarding your volunteers.

If you are working with volunteers in any organisation, you will benefit by attending our workshops!

The following workshops will be held in 2013:

Six Vital Strategies for Retaining Volunteers
How to Lead a Volunteer Team
Getting the Basics Right - Planning a Volunteer Programme
Managing a Diverse Volunteer Team
Dealing with Challenging Volunteer Behaviour
