Volunteer Engagement Training Program

Elevate Your Volunteer Program with a Nationally Recognized Training Experience
Are you ready to take your volunteer program to the next level? Volunteer Fox Cities—in partnership with the Bay Area Managers of Volunteer Services (BAMVS) and Volunteer Action Council (VAC) Fox Cities—is offering the Volunteer Engagement Training Program (VETP), a nationally recognized training series developed by Points of Light.

This dynamic, in-person learning experience is designed for volunteer administrators, coordinators, and anyone who manages or supports volunteers.

About the Program
VETP is facilitated by Brad Creighton, who will guide participants through the full curriculum with support from several regional co‑facilitators.

Through six interactive modules and two virtual workshops, participants gain the knowledge, tools, and confidence to build and sustain a strong volunteer program—all while connecting with a supportive network of peers who understand the work and share your passion.

Spring 2026 Cohort Overview:
Join our in‑person, skills‑based Spring 2026 cohort. Through six interactive modules and two virtual sessions, you’ll learn effective strategies for recruiting, onboarding, supporting, and recognizing volunteers.

Most of the sessions will be held at the Volunteer Fox Cities office, though there will be 2 virtual workshop sessions with the lead facilitator, and the graduation session will take place off‑site (TBD).

Thank you to Thrivent for sponsoring this cohort and ensuring this training remains affordable for volunteer engagement professionals across the Fox Valley.
