- Key characteristics of skills-based volunteerism
- Strategies for creating strong volunteer-role matches
- Planning and collaborating effectively on projects
- Engaging volunteers in virtual environments
- Tools and resources to support your program
This workshop is offered free of charge, thanks to a partnership with United Way of King County.
