TK 2024: Investing in Your Volunteers with Janet Lewis Jones

Are you Investing in your Volunteers?
This session will explore the importance of enhancing volunteers’ experiences through good practice. It will look at everything, from recruitment to exit, using the Investing in Volunteers framework and accreditation journey.
Investing in Volunteers (IiV) is the quality standard for all organisations who involve volunteers. It aims to improve the quality of the volunteering experience and to ensure organisations acknowledge the contribution made by volunteers.
IiV is a development tool that uses a quality framework to demonstrate best practice in volunteer involvement and management. The process will support you and your organisation with the development of your volunteer programme and highlight the effectiveness of your work with volunteers.
Details of how you can go through the accredited journey as well as information on the benefits of achieving IiV status can be found at Home - Investing in Volunteers.
