been utilized throughout the world in over 50,000 volunteer-involving organizations.

equally essential guide for the Volunteer Program Manager.
From it you will learn:
- how to structure your volunteer program, complete with sample forms and policies

fails

- how to evaluate the success of your volunteer program
And you also learn about trends in volunteering, techniques in
risk management and examples of what cutting edge volunteer programs are doing to
build their volunteer effort.
Where other books tell you what to do, Volunteer Management will
show you how to do it, down to precise language and specific examples.
Volunteer Management is a proven invaluable tool that should be
on the bookshelf of every Volunteer Program Manager.
