Some volunteer programmes are not currently operating or have been curtailed, other volunteer programmes have fundamentally changed or expanded since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Volunteer Managers may be finding it a challenge as a programme that they have successfully delivered for a number of years can no longer operate due to COVID-19.
Now is an ideal opportunity to reflect on the operation of your volunteer programme. Society and culture both in Ireland and globally are fundamentally changing. In this webinar we’ll explore some of the ways you can kickstart your volunteer programme.
Trainer: Stuart Garland

The COVID-19 pandemic presents many challenges for Volunteer Involving Organisations, primarily these are around the delivery of face-to-face services by volunteers. While you may be exploring alternative forms of volunteering such as virtual volunteering you should now take the time to also explore delivering your volunteer training online.
Volunteer Involving Organisations are now looking at alternative ways to “on board” their volunteers without the need for them to do this in a group face-to-face setting. In this session we’ll explore a series of tips and tricks that will help you maximise the engagement and effectiveness of your online training.

Virtual Volunteering is carried out online using computers and internet-connected devices, usually from afar. The service may be provided virtually but the volunteers are real. More and more organisations are engaging people who want to contribute their skills online.
We’ll explore the fundamentals of designing roles, online screening, online communities, how to overcome resistance to online volunteering and we’ll debunk some of the myths surrounding the subject.
