A practical look at how you can remove barriers within your organisation to make your volunteer recruitment process more accessible.
Volunteer Coordinators are often the sole person within their organisation with responsibility for volunteers.
We invite you to join us at our Volunteer Coordinators’ Forum for the opportunity to meet people with a similar role, network, and share peer support.
This special, hour-long practical session will focus on how inclusive volunteer recruitment and onboarding can help organisations remove barriers, broaden participation and create positive experiences from the very first interaction.
We will look at how volunteering opportunities, recruitment processes and induction activities can unintentionally exclude disabled and neurodivergent volunteers, and share practical ways to make volunteering more accessible and welcoming.
The session will also explore how thoughtful onboarding and ongoing support can help volunteers feel confident, valued and able to contribute in ways that work for them.
About the trainer
Training for this session forms part of our Disability & Reasonable Adjustments programme, facilitated by Evenbreak.
Evenbreak are a specialist inclusive recruitment and training organisation, led by people with lived experience of disability. This high-quality training – designed and delivered by the organisation’s Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent colleagues – will bring clarity and warmth to the subject, and ensure people feel capable of engaging with change rather than anxious about getting it wrong.
Please note: the training section will last for 30 minutes at the start of the session. Those attending for the training are more than welcome to remain for the rest of the meeting.
This session is ideal for volunteer coordinators, managers and anyone involved in recruiting, supporting or retaining volunteers who wants to strengthen inclusive volunteering practices.
