Join speakers Randy Detweiler and Sylvia Lynn, consultants and members of Volunteer Administrators of Southwestern PA, as they discuss different generations and how people from each respond to the opportunities offered by volunteering. They will also show you how to create a useful handbook for your volunteers.
This interactive training will have you learning, working with others on problem solving and presenting your ideas to the rest of the group. Come and learn how to make your volunteer program the success it deserves to be.
