Tomorrow is International Volunteer Managers Day!

Olivia from Volunteer Wellington

IVMD is a day to celebrate our amazing volunteer managers and their mahi. Volunteer Managers change lives — both the lives of volunteers themselves and of those served by well-led volunteers.

Volunteer Managers change lives — both the lives of volunteers themselves and of those served by well-led volunteers. The theme of this year’s International Volunteer Managers Day looks into the future and asks, “What’s our future normal?”
Imagine a future where it is normal for Volunteer Management to be well resourced and supported in our community organisations. It should be normal for volunteer management teams to have the right resources to carry out their jobs effectively.
IVM Day is a chance for volunteer managers to recognise what you have achieved and put some stepping stones in place towards a future normal, hopefully a more supported, well-resourced normality.
