    Background Information

    The Professional Association of Volunteer Managers Ireland is a service of Volunteering Ireland, the National Volunteer Development Agency. As part of the remit of building infrastructure that supports and facilitates volunteer involvement in Ireland, Volunteering Ireland works with and for volunteer involving organisations, to build capacity for the meaningful engagement of citizens through voluntary activity. Within this remit, PAVMI, formally the VOLT network, was established in 2000 as a peer support network of managers, both voluntary and paid, who spend the majority of their time coordinating the work of volunteers.
    The original aim of the VOLT network was to:
    1. Provide mutual support
    2. Share knowledge and experience about good practice in volunteer
    management
    3. Provide a voice for the volunteer coordinator in Ireland.

    Managing volunteers
    The guide is an introduction to volunteer management. It works through the sequence of tasks which would be typical when involving volunteers for the first time. It starts with a volunteer plan and then looks at putting together policies and procedures, recruiting and selecting volunteers, training, day to day management of volunteers and dealing with problems that may arise on an on-going basis.
