Volunteer Engagement is 1/3 part magic, 1/3 part match making and 1/3 conflict resolution. Depending on where you are working with volunteers, any of the three ingredients will take over the others. In this session you will learn about the benefits of volunteers, matching volunteers into roles based on their strengths and how to handle tough conversations with volunteers.
