Free training for anyone working with young volunteers. Link below to apply. Spaces limited! The vinvolved East London Team is pleased to invite you to a free half-day training event on Managing Young Volunteers: Converting Initial Queries into Active Volunteering.
We have two FREE sessions taking place on Friday 26th February 2010, 9:30am - 1:00pm or 1.30pm – 5.00pm at Changemakers, Ground Floor Zetland House, 5-25 Scrutton Street, London EC2A 4HJ. The training is aimed at organisations who work with or wish to involve young people aged 16-25 as volunteers, and will be delivered by a highly respected and experienced trainer. Refreshments will be provided.
By the end of the session, participants will feel better-equipped to ‘convert’ young peoples’ interest into sustainable volunteering activity. As well as providing a chance to network and share your learning with peers, the training will give you an opportunity to think about several elements of the service you provide, on both a strategic and practical level, including:
· Responding fast enough to initial queries from young people
· Having a welcoming and positive attitude to young people
· How to keep young volunteers engaged: from their first impressions to a lasting experience
· How to work with stakeholders such as volunteers and funders, and ‘what’s in it for them’
The training will be delivered by Graham Allcott; a social entrepreneur and a faculty trainer for CSV’s Institute of Advanced Volunteer Management. Graham spent 9 years in student volunteering, including roles as a Volunteer Manager, a Community Action Project Leader, and as Chief Executive of Student Volunteering England, during which time he sat on the advisory board for the Russell Commission. Graham is co-founder of Birmingham-based volunteering charity Intervol, and Chair of READ International. Graham runs two companies: Fruitful Consulting (https://83.105.27.10/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.fruitfulconsulting.co.uk) and Think Productive (https://83.105.27.10/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.thinkproductive.co.uk).
