Volunteers are fundamental to many successful Extension programs. Research indicates that nearly one third of volunteers will choose not to continue volunteering based on poor management practices. Achieving the Extension Mission Through Volunteers is an online cohort course for the novice Extension professional working with volunteers to enhance and deliver Extension programs.

- Increase volunteer management competencies
- Build knowledge and skills to identify, recruit, select, and support volunteers
- Learn current volunteer trends and how they may impact programming
- Understand the organization’s philosophy related to volunteerism and develop your own philosophy
Offered annually: January 24 – March 13, 2022
Cost: $250
Registration begins September 15. Check out what past participants and facilitators have to say about the course (5 minute Youtube video).
