WEBINAR DETAILS

Is your volunteer training just an exercise in jumping through hoops? Is it boring or exciting? Is it short and sweet or comprehensive and based on the principles of adult learning? Are your volunteers so impressed by your training that they tell everyone they know that they have to volunteer with you, if for no other reason than to attend this fabulous education experience?

A high-quality training course followed by ongoing educational opportunities is the first step to building a strong program. Then moving from training to creative programming is essential to ensuring volunteers receive a meaningful experience and patients and families receive the best possible care.
