You’ll look at some of the why, where, when, how behind comms and marketing during class discussions and group work.
You’ll look at good (free or almost free) tools, which will help you build some imaginative marcomms
campaigns. Then you’ll plan and execute a campaign (and present it for fun!), maybe setting up a demo
Twitter account, Facebook page, media call, or stakeholder event.
You’ll take a real, live plan back to base after picking up new skills:

If organisations are to benefit from volunteers’ time, energy and talents, it is important that they invest
resources to make sure that their volunteers are well supported and that there is a good match between the
volunteer’s expectations and experience.
Organisations change and adapt over time. It is important therefore that volunteering within organisations is
reviewed from time to time, so that it matches the needs of the organisation and the expectations of current
and future volunteers.
This course will cover the following aspects of managing volunteers:
- identifying the need for volunteers;
- defining the tasks for volunteers;

- supporting volunteers within their roles;
- reviewing volunteers;
- valuing volunteers.
