July Lunch and Learn

“Diversity: What Meaning Does This Have for Your Volunteer Corps?”

What do we mean when we speak of diversity among our volunteer corps: age, gender, ethnicity, skills, experience, …? Does it matter that we have diversity: to other volunteers, our organization, our customers, our wider community, to ourselves? What level of diversity do we need, desire, are able to obtain to address our organizational and volunteer goals? Are there any cultural or social issues to consider when recruiting, placing, or supervising a diverse corps of volunteers? Please join panelists Katie Kluesner, Volunteer Coordinator, North/Eastside Senior Coalition; Annie Dutcher, Volunteer Coordinator, Centro Hispano; a youth volunteer coordinator; and moderator, Rick Orton, Madison Senior Center as we explore the answers to these questions, and more!

Please come prepared to discuss the above questions as they relate to your work and organization during lunch with your table-mates at the DCAVS Lunch and Learn, Wednesday, July 21st.
