This first workshop, of three separate workshops on volunteers, for organisations working with volunteers aims to root volunteer diversification in the ethos and aims of your organisation leading to long term diversity of your volunteer base.
Maggie Piazza, from Volunteering England, will deliver this seminar. It will include presentations, group work and exercises, action planning for the future, and a case study from the London Archaeological Archive and Research Centre (LAARC).

* Explain how volunteering contributes to the achievement of organisational aims and objectives
* Explain the benefits of diversifying your volunteer team
* Outline how you can analyse the diversity of your volunteer team compared to the local community
* Ensure that images / descriptions of your organisation reflect the diversity of your local community
* Implement a range of strategies to enable more diverse recruitment of volunteers
* Recognise and address the internal blocks to diversification in your organization
