Where a volunteer manager can go next

3 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a volunteer manager already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Volunteer managers work across the non-profit sector to recruit, train, motivate and supervise volunteers. They are in charge of designing volunteer assignments, recruiting volunteers, reviewing the tasks undertaken and impact made, providing feedback and managing their overall performance against the objectives of the organisation. Volunteer coordinators might also manage online volunteering activities, sometimes known as cyber-volunteering or e-volunteering.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a volunteer manager already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
