2025 Nonprofit Credential in Volunteer Management

Description

Your volunteers are the engine that helps to move your mission forward, but even the best engine needs the right parts to run smoothly. Think of your program like a well-oiled machine—if the foundation isn’t strong, the whole thing can stall.

The Nonprofit Credential in Volunteer Management gives you the tools to build that solid foundation, ensuring your volunteers are running at full power and making a real impact. You’ve got the vision, and this will help everything click into place.

What’s included:

• Interactive Training to get a solid foundation in volunteer recruitment, retention, Ethics Codes, and DEI-driven practices.
• Save time with ready-to-use resources, tools, and templates—no need to start from scratch.
• Personalized consultation and coaching ensure your volunteer program reaches its full potential. You don't have to go it alone.

Learn the skills you need to celebrate your volunteers, strengthen their bond with your mission, and lead your volunteer team with confidence.

Upon completion, your organization will earn the UNA Volunteer Management Badge, a mark of excellence to share with your network and show the world you’re serious about making an impact.

Note: The Nonprofit Credential program is for 501(c) organizations only.
