Are you looking to transform the way your organization engages volunteers? Our Volunteer Engagement Training Program (VETP) is designed specifically for those who manage and inspire volunteers. Whether you're new to volunteer management or looking to enhance your existing program, VETP offers a comprehensive, interactive learning experience to elevate your volunteer initiatives. The cost for all four sessions is $150 for Volunteer Center Members and $175 for non-Members. It will be held in person at the Volunteer Center offices at 968 Postal Rd. in Allentown.
Each of the 2-hour sessions will include:
- information and tools related to an element of volunteer program management
- a working component to incorporate the learnings and tools into your program
- dedicated time for peer-to-peer engagement that will allow you to troubleshoot a program issue and receive support, resources, and suggestions from your professional peers

What the VETP graduates are saying...
"I came into VETP not knowing much. Each week I left excited to have ways to improve my service to volunteers. I feel more empowered to step up and take control of this program that I own. Meghan and Shawn are very knowledgeable and encouraging. Their input during the peer to peer sessions added the extra layer of experience many of us didn’t have. I’m grateful I went through this program (even though I have a BUNCH of work to do now)" "VETP gave me all the information I need to build-up a great volunteer program, be a better volunteer coordinator, and better appreciate our valued volunteers."
