"The course provided a wonderful opportunity to think well about the volunteer program at Sage House. At the same time I learned new information and developed my skills. I have made use of the materials frequently and running in to new friends made during training has been an added bonus."

Who should attend?

Volunteer Managers, staff and leadership volunteers looking for new ideas.
