Volunteers: Supporting and Supervising your Volunteers – Wednesday 20^th April 2007

 

Friday 20th April

9.30am to 4.30pm

Geffrye Museum, Kingsland Road, London

 

This event is for anyone working with, or managing, volunteers in a museum, library, or archive.

 

Does your organization have volunteers? Do you want to get the best from them for your organisation and help them with their own personal or career goals?  The second workshop for organisations working with volunteers aims to clarify how supporting and supervising volunteers compares to supporting and supervising paid staff.

 

Maggie Piazza, from Volunteering England, will deliver this seminar.  It will include presentations, group discussions and exercises, action planning for the future, and case studies from a MLA sector organisation, and from participants own experiences.

 

By the end of the session you will be able to:

 

·        Explain your legal obligations to volunteers

·        Implement induction / initial training that meets the needs of the volunteer and the organisation

·        Establish a range of ways for ensuring that volunteers continue to carry out appropriate tasks to a standard required by the organisation

·        Use support processes that take account of the varying support needs of volunteers

·        Ensure that volunteers have an opportunity to contribute their views about the organisation and its work

·        Identify appropriate ways to give volunteers recognition

 

A light lunch will be provided.
