Session Details

Detailed Description

Literacy Network requires volunteers to make a commitment of 24 hours over the course of one semester, yet the average LitNet volunteer gives 90 hours -that's more than three semesters of service. How? By having built a strong, loyal volunteer base through clear position descriptions, an effective volunteer application process, thorough training, professional development opportunities, regular check-ins/gratitude, and exit interviews or surveys. Learn how setting aside time for volunteer program management can turn your volunteers into a capacity-building army of advocates, service providers, and change-makers.
