Essentials in Volunteer Management Certificate Program
Testimonials
Here’s what our graduates have to say!
“To me it [the course] meant
realizing that my work as a volunteer coordinator goes way beyond my
agency. The class reassured me that I
am not alone in the volunteer management world. It helped me to realize exactly where I am in the world of
volunteerism, and where I need to go from here. It also made me realize that there’s a great need for the class
and I only wish I could’ve participated in such a class 4 or 5 years ago.” Upon completion of this session, I have more
insight into projecting the future of volunteers in our organization and giving
some thought to the involvement of our staff.”
“I really enjoyed learning
about the different personality types.”
“Upon completion of this
session, I was able to understand the forms and procedures necessary to
effectively run a volunteer program.”
“I really learned a lot today
in a very relaxed atmosphere.”
“…great opportunity to
network with other profession volunteer leaders.”
“I learned a lot more than I
expected. The class was great. I took away legal information that I would
have never believed existed just for volunteers. I was overwhelmed with information, and I realize I have a lot to
do!”
“This is what I was hoping
for… structure and development of a ‘sound’ volunteer program. I am eager to use the ‘legal’ information in
paperwork. I am eager to use the books and
sources provided. I am already using
the character traits to match volunteers and staff.”
“The whole class was
presented in an adult to adult manner, and I really appreciate that.”
“Soon after we finished the
class, I went to a lunch meeting at RSVP for
volunteer administrators. These
meetings feature a speaker or topic on some aspect of managing volunteers. I was surprised at the amount of
information, resources and input I had to offer the other participants. For the first time at a meeting of volunteer
administrators, I felt like a professional with an understanding of the issues
and parameters of the profession.”
“Finally, someone that knows
something and is not “repackaging” old school, talking-head training that is
insulting.”
