Volunteers are the backbone to many of our organizations. They accomplish huge amounts of work and save us thousands of dollars in wages. But how do you get the right volunteer for the job? This session explores writing job descriptions, marketing the job, and interviewing prospective volunteers. You will leave with forms, ideas, and questions to get you started right away. Even if you already have a volunteer program, these tips will help you make the right match of volunteer and task.
Karin Hostetter is a founding, life member of NAI and has been involved with the certification program since its earliest days. She currently holds her CIG, CIH, CIGT, and CIHT. She has completed both the Planning and Coaching workshops as well and is one of NAI's five Lead Trainers. Karin helped moved NAI's certification program to the online format when is became necessary, believing that online learning could and should be just as engaging as face-to-face training. Karin has written several articles for Legacy, serves as a reviewer for CIGT applicants, scores media and Legacy awards, and is a frequently seen presenter at national and regional workshops.
Her career in interpretation includes front line interpretation for natural and cultural institutions including first-person living history; facilitating many national program trainings such as Project WILD, Project WET, Project Learning Tree, and others; training college students, staff, and volunteers both across the US and internationally. As owner of Interpret This, Karin offers a variety of face-to-face and online training programs around interpretive skills, interpretive writing, volunteer program management, as well as program and curricula development.
