The training is conducted over two full days and includes the following topics:
Day One : Understanding Volunteering, Planning Your Volunteer Program and Engaging Staff, and Recruiting and Placing Volunteers
Day Two : Training Volunteers, Supervising Volunteers and Evaluating Your Volunteer Program
All volunteer coordinators who complete both days of this training will be
