Overview

The Centre for Volunteering conducts regular online Volunteer Leader Network Meetings and Volunteer Leader Special Interest Groups.

There are two General Volunteer Leaders Networks and two Special Interest Groups.

 

Volunteer Leader Network Meetings

Who it’s for

We would love to hear from you if you identify or work within one of the following groups:

Volunteer leaders (experienced or new to the role of managing volunteers)

Whether you have recently come into the role of managing volunteers or are a seasoned volunteer leader seeking the support and shared experience of your peers – this network is for you.

Remote and regional volunteer leaders (based in or catering for regional areas)

If you are managing volunteers in a remote or regional area and would like the opportunity to link up and share common issues with other volunteer leaders who work in rural areas – this network is for you. 

How it works

These online network meetings run every six to eight weeks for one hour. They are designed to build the capacity and professionalism of volunteer leaders, by acting as a sounding board for open discussion and exchange. Meetings are informal and interactive, based around topical issues and shared concerns, encouraging relationship building and knowledge sharing.

Volunteer Leader Special Interest Groups

Volunteer Leaders in specific sectors have distinct requirements, opportunities and challenges when involving volunteers.  For two of these sectors, we have created Volunteer Leader Special Interest Groups to discuss issues, concerns and opportunities that are specific to these sectors. These sessions are also framed around sharing ideas and different approaches to address current issues across the sector.

Who it’s for

Whether you have recently come into the role of managing volunteers or are a seasoned volunteer leader seeking the support and shared experience of your peers, two different networks are available for you to join:

  • Aged Care Volunteer Leaders Special Interest Group
    Volunteer managers who are working in care and support for seniors
  • NSW Council Volunteer Leaders Special Interest Group
    Volunteer managers who are working at a NSW council

How it works

These online network meetings run quarterly for one hour at 1pm. They are designed to build the capacity and professionalism of volunteer leaders by acting as a sounding board for open discussion and exchange. Meetings are informal and interactive, based around topical issues and shared concerns, encouraging relationship building and knowledge sharing.
