During this training She'll walk you through an activity to help you envision how you can operate effectively and efficiently leverage volunteers throughout your organization. She'll explore challenges focusing on actual barriers (not the things you lack) and help you determine ways you can move your organization towards more strategic, capacity building, and high impact volunteers.
