Management of Volunteers in Agricultural and Extension Education

Catalog description

This course is intended to prepare students to be effective managers of volunteer programs, or to challenge those students already engaged in those roles to improve on their existing skills. Theory will be emphasized in the course, only in so much as it is essential to be grounded in theory in order to apply it. Major topics of the course will include, but are not limited to: volunteer recruitment, training, evaluation and reward. This is an active course where students will be required to be active in and outside of class sessions.
