Pandemic 2020 Volunteer Management Resources
To support community activators who have convened ad hoc groups of volunteers to help meet community needs, LAVA and Pillar Nonprofit Network have joined together to create a curated list of resources for those who have little or no experience with managing volunteers. The list is curated from a global review of Covid-19 specific volunteer management resources and is rooted in Canadian best practices.
