July AL!VE Academy:  Improving Staff/Volunteer Relations through Staff Training

July 29, 1 PM - 90 Minutes
    (60 minute presentation, 30 minutes for additional Q & A, discussion and networking)


Do you struggle to create awareness in your staff surrounding your volunteer program and volunteer roles? Join Angela Williamson and Paula Allen as they discuss the two different staff trainings they use in their programs. Learn what prompted Angela and Paula to create training for staff, their two different approaches, and how it helps their programs. Leave with an understanding of how to frame success and possible roadblocks you could encounter in your own program, and take-away a template to create your own training for staff.
