May 2011 Everyone Ready Volunteer Management Topic now online: Volunteer-related Issues in Risk Management
From AFSWiki
The latest Everyone Ready® online volunteer management training topic, Volunteer-related Issues in Risk Management became available on Monday, May 16. All AFS-USA volunteers and staff can access the monthly Everyone Ready® topics online, via the "Resources" tab in Global Link.
The seminar defines risk management, with special attention to the risks that arise out of the implementation of a volunteer program and out of the actual work done by volunteers.
Learning Objectives
