Event Description
Successful engagement begins with the right opportunity—one that meets the needs of both the volunteer and the organization. Crafting position descriptions ensures that the role is meaningful, and can be instrumental in finding qualified people, making a good match, and setting volunteers up for success. This session will focus on the elements of position descriptions, who should be involved in writing them, which elements should be negotiable, and how to leverage position descriptions for recruitment.
 
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
  • Identify organizational needs to identify potential volunteer opportunities.
  • Assess potential volunteer positions to determine if they are strategic.
  • Develop a comprehensive position description and understand how it sets the stage for effective engagement.
