Keeping Volunteers Safe: Restarting your Volunteer Programme

View

This course is about the essential things you need to consider to ensure a positive experience for individuals returning to engage in volunteering following suspension of programmes in response to Covid-19. The overall aim is to help you prepare your volunteers, organisation and colleagues to return to supporting volunteer involvement in your work. It was developed with input from volunteers, volunteer-involving groups and organisations, volunteer practitioners and trainers. This input has given us the volunteers’ perspective and the volunteers’ ‘voice’ that we hope you will find helpful throughout the course.

4. Adapting to Change: Roles and Responsibilities

4.6. Activity 5

Activity 5

Please take some time to consider the following points and if appropriate update your Action Plan:

 Think carefully about the kinds of conversations you might want to have about with volunteers, what is it you want to learn about them and their experience, what is it they need to know from you.

  1. Consider the methods that have been previously outlined and identify how you will find out this information about the potential volunteer.
  2. Write down five changes as a result of COVID-19 that the volunteer might need to know about your group or organisation.
  3. Again, using the methods outlined, when and how will the volunteer be able to find out this information?

The feedback for this activity is on the next page.
