Testimonial
“My favorite class was the recruitment, training, & retention session. I enjoyed this session because when I accepted my job position the recruitment aspect of being the volunteer coordinator never crossed my mind. This session provided information and suggestions to successfully recruit new volunteers and to retain the volunteers that were already with the company.”
