We rely on the generosity of volunteers to support many aspects of our horticultural therapy programs. Their services can range from pulling weeds in our gardens to engaging our clients in meaningful ways. How can you get the most out of your volunteers and minimize the missteps and misunderstandings that may come along with them? This presentation will introduce to you a volunteer management framework and make you consider the important aspects of growing volunteers for your program.
