OutsideTheBox - DIY Training Workshops/Courses

This six-hour do-it-yourself workshop is designed to enable managers and supervisiors to take time to think about what managing volunteers means to them and consider a range of management techniques specifically aimed at issues relating to this complex issue. After completing this workshop, trainees should feel more confident about determining their own management style and therefore be more effective at managing people in general and volunteers in particular.
