Stepping into a volunteer management role can feel both exciting and overwhelming. Suddenly you’re responsible for recruitment, onboarding, scheduling, communication, recognition, and reporting—often with limited time and resources.

In this 1-hour, beginner-friendly session, Karin Henderson, CVA, will walk you through the essentials so you can feel more organized, productive, and in control of your volunteer program.

Whether you’re brand new to volunteer management or you’ve “fallen into” the role, you’ll leave with a clear starting point and practical next steps.

In This Webinar, You’ll Learn How To:

  • Get organized from day one – Put key pieces in place (roles, policies, documentation, and processes) so your program runs smoothly.
  • Be productive and do more with less – Prioritize your time, manage competing demands, and avoid feeling constantly reactive.
  • Leverage technology wisely – Use volunteer management software and other tools for scheduling, communication, hours tracking, and reporting—without adding extra work.
  • Understand the different “hats” you wear – Recruiter, coach, communicator, problem solver, and advocate.
  • Learn from others in the field – Hear real-life tips and lessons from experienced volunteer managers.
  • Find the right resources – Discover communities, training, templates, and tools to support you all year.

Who Should Attend?

This webinar is designed for:

  • New or aspiring Volunteer Managers / Coordinators / Leaders of Volunteers
  • Staff who have had volunteer management added to their role
  • Anyone who has "landed” in volunteer engagement and wants a clearer roadmap

No prior training is required—this is a true 101-level session.
