The Atlantic Council for International Cooperation (ACIC) Presents:

***Working with Volunteers ***

Come learn the fundamentals:

·	What will attract a volunteer to your organization?
·	What kinds of work can volunteers do? What should they NOT be expected to
do?
·	What skills & resources do you need to manage volunteers?
·	Delegating responsibility effectively.
·	Appreciation and rewards for volunteers.
·	Resources for training volunteers and volunteer managers.
·	Training volunteers – what do they need to know?
·	What are the responsibilities of the employer?
·	Anti-harassment policies and procedures – why they are needed, what they
are…

Our workshop facilitator, Dr Irene Novaczek is an independent marine
scientist who has worked with many environmental and social justice
organizations including the Canadian Environmental Network, Environmental

volunteers, while she worked on coral reef conservation and management.
Since returning to PEI in 1998 Irene has held a position on the boards of
CUSO, the PEI Environmental Network, Sierra Club of Canada marine issues
