Join the Dundee Volunteer Coordinators Network

DVVA facilitates the Volunteer Coordinators Network. This Network is for anyone whose role covers volunteer coordination and meetings place every 2 months. It works as an open peer support forum to discuss issues affecting volunteering in Dundee and identify collaborative opportunities to strengthen the capacity of volunteer-involving organisations in Dundee.

The purpose of the Volunteer Coordinator’s Network is:

· – to create an open space for volunteer coordinators to discuss issues relating to volunteering

· – to share information on available learning, training or upskilling events for volunteer coordinators and/or volunteers

· – to share accurate and current information/resources on best practice in volunteering

· – to contribute to measuring the impact of volunteering in Dundee

· – to provide a time and space for connecting, networking, and learning from other members

· – to support collaborative working and foster connections

Network members have the opportunity to join learning bites (up to 90 minutes training session) in subjects relating to volunteer management – the new programme starts on 01 May and will cover topics such as:

· Celebrating volunteers
· Developing expectations and boundaries
· Assessing the impact of your volunteering programme
· Developing a volunteer policy/volunteer agreement/role description

If you aren’t already on the mailing list and would like to be part of the Network to receive information on upcoming meetings, training opportunities and events, please fill in this short ONLINE FORM. Membership is free and open to all voluntary organisations and community groups in Dundee, new, emerging or well-established.
