Managing Volunteers - Virtual Training Course

If you manage volunteers, this online course will acquaint you with recent work on volunteer management produced by general support agencies for volunteering in the UK, Canada, Australia and the USA. This course also includes specialist knowledge about managing volunteers in professional bodies based on PARN research.

Held over two virtual sessions on the following dates

Lesson 1 - Monday 7th December
Lesson 2 - Tuesday 8th December

Each session will last from 11.00 am to 13.00pm   

This year PARN's Autumn training courses will be running  a little differently. Rather than being held as a full day in person session, delegates will instead be invited to attend a number of interactive webinars. Each lesson will explore a different topic related to the course and will provide delegates with the same content, research and interactive sessions that you could usually expect to see at a PARN training course.

Delegates need only pay a one off fee of £50 +VAT (£100 +VAT for Non Members of PARN) which will provide access to each session. Alternatively PARN members can use their member benefit free place to sign up for a course.

 This course is delivered by our Deputy CEO, Robert Pitts.

You will receive a digital folder with information to support your learning on this topic, along with copies of course slides, case studies and good practice guidelines
