Availability and access to learning and development opportunities is a
vital component of a good volunteer management program. Volunteers who
are offered some form of training are better equipped to carry out their
duties more comfortably, and confidently and, as a result, more
efficiently, which will in turn benefit their organisations.
Providing
learning and development opportunities for volunteers is also a part of
good risk management practices. Volunteers that are equipped become a
valuable asset to your organisation.
Learning and development opportunities for volunteers working in sport and recreation is available in coaching, officiating, sports medicine and other administrative and management programs.
