Volunteer policy in 10 steps

Want to create a volunteer policy? In the online module Volunteer Policy in 10 Steps, we have outlined the ten most important topics of a good volunteer policy. Such as recruitment, tasks, participation, and appreciation. Each topic includes a number of sub-questions to help you think further. How have you arranged this? Or how would you like to arrange it? Practical and accessible. There are also writing assignments to put your policy on paper if desired. Even if you already have a volunteer policy, you can use this module to check whether you have overlooked any aspects.
