Volunteer Management Institute, Spring 2014
VMI is an intensive certification program that provides training in the core concepts of volunteer management. Although this is not an academic certificate, the training offered as part of the program is designed to sharpen and develop the skills of anyone involved in the important task of volunteer management for a nonprofit organization.
The two and a half day workshop would be valuable for the seasoned veteran wanting to brush up on the basics, or the novice volunteer manager just learning the ropes. Attendance at all sessions is required for certification.
Topics include:
- Developing a volunteer program
- Recruiting volunteers
- Volunteer Training
- Volunteer Support, Supervision, Retention
- Volunteer Motivation and Recognition
- Risk Management

Scott Cruce, Director of Recruitment, Big Brothers Big Sisters
