This handbook takes a step-by-step approach to guide volunteer managers, leaders and co-ordinators through creating a volunteering role description, recruiting, training, motivating and supervising volunteers, to ending a volunteering relationship - all within the legal framework that surrounds volunteering. It's a resource that no volunteer manager should be without!
