International Volunteer Managers Day

International Volunteer Managers Day (IVMDay) theme this year is Helping Others Help – Aratakina te hunga tūao – (leading volunteer people).

Volunteer coordinators or managers are the people who make volunteering happen. They recruit, train and support volunteers so the volunteers can do their work and make the impact they do. They may be paid or voluntary, have a job dedicated to managing volunteers or it may be one part of their role.

There is no volunteering without leadership and volunteer coordinators or managers are the bridge to volunteering.

Today is all about celebrating all volunteer managers, coordinators, supporters… who make volunteering happen in Kāpiti and all over the world!
