Description

Current projections suggest that human service agencies will engage one volunteer for every compensated employee within the next several years, due to competition for vital human resources and increased demand for community sensitive organizations. This course has been designed to prepare human service professionals for the challenges of managing an uncompensated work force within complex organizational structures. Special consideration also will be given to students who will have responsibility for coordinating corporate/employee volunteer service activities within public and non-profit organizations. Students will examine all aspects of program management and will gain an understanding of the essential components of productive volunteer service activities that address authentic organizational and community needs and support core business functions.
