Volunteer training includes the following:

• The Self Directed Volunteer Teams™ Online Tutorial
• An on-site workshop
• Access to the Self Directed Volunteer Network™ online community to document progress and access expert assistance, resources, tools, and templates

The workshop will take place over the course of roughly one and a half days. The workshop will use various teaching methods including discussions, interactive learning and group exercises. Volunteers should expect to leave the training with a vision for their teams, documented plans, tools to keep going, and the support for success. The most important things we can ask is that volunteers bring an open mind and new ideas. All of the information shared in the workshop will be treated confidentially. Dress is business casual, but we highly recommend layered clothing.

The workshop will be broken down into the following sections:

• Context
• The Core Team
• The Project Charter
• The Team at Work
• Plan Development / Issues Brief
• Important Success Factors
• Scenarios
• Wrap Up & Next Steps
