Volunteer Training
Marge Smith, former executive director of the
YWCA of Princeton and a consultant to nonprofits for 20 years, is
leading a group of volunteers staging an evening workshop,
"Community
Works: Workshops for Volunteer Development," on Thursday, January
27, from 5 to 9:15 p.m. at the Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson
School. Sponsored by Rotary Club of Princeton, it costs $22 including
a box supper. Networking begins the evening and, some say, is one
of the most valuable sessions.
After listening to the keynote speech, participants can attend two
workshops. The choices include using the Internet for your non-profit
organization, managing conflict, asking for money, public speaking,
building an active board, fundraising, accessing foundations and
corporations
for funding, nuts and bolts of a press release, marketing your image,
motivating volunteers, and collaborative projects. Those who register
early get first priority on their choices. Call 609-924-8652 for a
registration form.
