Volunteer Management Fundamentals 2025

Course Overview

The Community Foundation for a greater Richmond is partnering with Volunteer Pro to offer our Volunteer Management Fundamentals course. This 8-week hybrid course is designed to equip nonprofit staff with skills to build a strong, strategic, and sustainable volunteer engagement program. The content covers volunteer recruitment, retention, training, recognition, risk management, methods for engaging diverse audiences, and more.  

Course Format

Our hybrid course will begin on September 9th and run through October 30th. The course will consist of: 

  • 5 virtual self-paced modules. Modules are completed individually on your own time at your own location.  

  • 3 in-person sessions hosted at the Community Foundation to engage with peers, share ideas, and discuss implementation of learnings.

  • Optional virtual consultation calls with the Community Foundation. The consultation calls will provide a safe space for participants to ask questions, get feedback, and brainstorm solutions. 

At the conclusion of the training, participants will earn a Volunteer Fundamentals Certificate and have lifetime access to the VolunteerPro modules.

Cost and Commitment

Valued at $500.00, this course will only cost your organization $100.00. With support from the Schaberg Foundation, the Community Foundation for a greater Richmond will subsidize the remainder of the course cost for one staff member for up to 20 organizations.
