Volunteer Management Portal
26th August 2010
Do you work with volunteers as part of a voluntary, paid, part time or full time role in the community and voluntary, private or public sector? If the answer is yes, then this website is for you!
So what is the Volunteer Management Portal?
As England’s volunteering development agency, Volunteering England understands the importance of good volunteer management. We believe that good volunteer management comes, not only from experience, but also from having access to relevant support, training and development opportunities.
We know that there are loads of fantastic resources out there for people who work with volunteers, but that they can sometimes be difficult to find. We wanted to make it easier to access these resources by developing one central place to find them…
So we created the Volunteer Management Portal! The Portal is a website for anyone who works with volunteers. You can use it to search for support, training and development resources to help you work more effectively with volunteers.
What’s on the Portal?
The idea of the Portal is to make it easier for you to access information on specific types of resources that can help you in your role. We’ve included information on resources which fit into 7 different support categories:
- Training providers
- Consultants
- Publications, resources and networks
- Peer-support
- Organisations providing organisational health checks
- Organisations providing direct services
- Organisations providing information, advice and guidance.
So follow the link below to access over a thousand volunteer management resources!
