Core Skills in Volunteer Management

Core Skills in Volunteer Management (CSVM) is a suite of training which covers all the essentials of volunteer management. Suitable for both someone new to volunteer management as well as those who have been in the business for a while, these enjoyable and interactive courses will help you develop your professional volunteer management skills and share experience with other managers. The courses have been developed by practitioners for practitioners.

Inspire Sessions

Inspire is our monthly gathering for people who are new to volunteer management and for people who have years of experience. It’s an opportunity to share experiences and good practice, get advice about tackling sticky volunteer problems or thorny issues, and get peer support from people who really know what it’s like to be a Volunteer Coordinator.

Evolve Forum

Evolve is our dynamic forum to help volunteer managers advance their Continuing Professional Development. Evolve brings together volunteer managers with lots of different experience to learn, share experiences, network, and for an opportunity to give and receive peer support.

Involve Workshops

Involve is a series of workshops we deliver aimed at increasing the knowledge and understanding of Volunteer Coordinators.
