More about the training:
When it comes to volunteering, people are spoiled for choice. There is no shortage of
organisations to get involved with, so in order to attract volunteers and keep them on-board,
you need to offer the best possible experience. Learn what drives people to volunteer and
discover simple strategies for ensuring your volunteers get what they need to stay involved.

In this workshop you will discover:
> If your organisation is ready for volunteers.
> What things do you need to have in place before you start recruiting?
> How to ensure your organisation offers a good fit for volunteers.
> Is there more than one model of volunteering and should you even care?
> What do different generations expect from their volunteer experience?
> The difference between recognition and appreciation.
> What do volunteers really need and how can you give it to them effectively?
> Why a great Volunteer Experience is your best recruitment tool (and how to make the most of it)
> How to grow a positive environment for your whole team.

Volunteering is a great way to build social connections and feel a part of your community. Volunteer Nelson has a new programme in partnership with the Multicultural Council to support migrants to volunteer.
As part of this there will be a support team or buddies to help. The role is flexible where buddies may support individuals to volunteer or help with group volunteering sessions when they are available. We need buddies of all ages and backgrounds, both migrants or from Aotearoa.
Our first buddy training is a chance to get to know each other a bit, discuss the programme, ways you can assist, cover some stuff to do with health & safety and have some food and conversation.
