Overview
If you only have one pack – make it this one. It will ensure volunteers know the aims of the organisation and the benefits their involvement will bring. They will have understood their role and have relevant information about any paperwork they will need to complete.At 3 hours this is long enough not to seem too daunting to new volunteers, but the content will ensure they have sufficient knowledge of the organisation and what is expected of them.
It is important at this induction stage to remember that you are still ‘selling’ the idea of joining your organisation and the exercises in this session will reinforce motivation and desire to continue. No matter whether you want to deliver informal training or something more structured it is important that the training is professional and has been taken seriously by the organisation. This will illustrate to the volunteer that their participation is valued.
