Volunteer Resources Leadership: Capacity Building in Minnesota (VRL) is a three-year capacity building initiative to expand and strengthen volunteer leadership across the state through strategies that create widespread systemic change. With a special emphasis on targeting diverse and grassroots communities, the initiative will build infrastructure, tools, and capacity for successful volunteer leadership. VRL will build healthy communities by strengthening organizational ability to maximize the quality and quantity of voluntary effort. |
MAVA and a number of community partners began implementing VRL in November 2005 to address barriers to successful volunteer capacity building. Key strategies include: |
• |
Strengthening volunteer resources infrastructure and competence through affordable, accessible volunteer resources leader training |
• |
Strengthening local volunteer resources networks to create a structure for self-sustaining peer-to-peer professional development. |
• |
Advocating with decision makers for best practices, necessary resources and policy in volunteer resources leadership. |
• |
Strengthening community/organization abilities to recruit and retain volunteers. |
