November 2010 Everyone Ready Topic: Effective Supervision of Volunteers

From AFSWiki

As of November 15, the latest Everyone Ready® online volunteer management training topic is available. As was announced in March 2010, all AFS-USA volunteers and staff can access the monthly Everyone Ready® topics online, via Global Link.

This month's Everyone Ready® topic is entitled, "Effective Supervision: A Seminar for Busy Staff Who Partner with Volunteers" and is available through December 18. After December 18, the seminar will be available in the "archived topics" of the Everyone Ready® site until mid-January.

After completing this seminar and discussing its content, participants will be able to:

• Explain why supervision of volunteers is a critical element in successful volunteer engagement.
• Describe the differences between supervising employees and supervising volunteers.
• Assess their own abilities in teaming with volunteers and identify areas in which they need to increase their skills.
• Develop strategies to supervise a wide range of volunteers.
