** Training Opportunity - Measuring the impact of Volunteering **

As an organisation that has volunteers helping you do what you do on a day-to-day basis, assisting you to achieve your purpose, you will have a good understanding of the difference volunteers make for your organisation and those you support or your cause.

Are you able to describe that impact for others? For volunteers themselves? For those you support, or your cause? For your organisation? For other external stakeholders?

Impact is the change that happens because of volunteering. Impact measurement is gathering data, information and stories and analysing what this means for different stakeholders. It can help you communicate to volunteers the importance of their work and understand the impact volunteers have for your organisation. It also provides data, information, and stories you can share with external stakeholders.

In this workshop, presented by Megan Thorn, we will:

* Explore volunteer impact measurement – what is it, different types and what are the benefits.
* Get clear on why you are wanting to measure volunteer impact.
* Share a framework for planning your project.
* Explore the key questions you want to answer through impact measurement.
* Understand your audiences and how information will be used and the impact that has on how you gather.
* Explore different data and information collection methods and tools, including collaborative tools, so you can confidently choose the methods you wish to use.
* Share tips for designing and using the different tools.
* Share tools for analysing, reporting, and communicating your findings.

- Where: St Johns in the City Cnr Dixon and Willis Streets Wellington
- When: Wednesday 31 July - 9.30am to 4pm
- Cost: Members - $35, Non-Members - $60
