Volunteer Management Training
Did you know that New York State ranks 50th among states throughout the nation in volunteerism?
Through the Volunteer Generation Fund, the New York Commission on National and Community Service established 10 Regional Volunteer Centers (RVC) to efficiently organize national and community service initiatives and enhance a regional volunteer infrastructure throughout New York State.
The Regions of Service are: the Capital Region, North Country, Mohawk Valley, Central New York, Finger Lakes, Western New York, Southern Tier, Mid-Hudson, Long Island and New York City. Collaboratively, the RVC’s will engage one million New Yorkers in service in order to increase New York’s volunteer rate to the current national average.
Volunteer management training is being offered to non-profits and educational institutions to strengthen their capacity and more strategically utilize volunteer resources as a solution to critical local problems. The next generation in volunteer management software called HandsOn Connect (HOC) provides capabilities to recruit, track and manage volunteers and service. HOC can also help you quantify the impact of your volunteer program.
If you’d like to learn more about your Regional Volunteer Center or connect for training, please visit: www.NewYorkersVolunteer.org
