As part of the Volunteer Trustee Development Network micro-learning series, we will present a short skill builder webinar on practical ways to keep people engaged and avoid burnout in Community and Voluntary Organisations.
Volunteers are often deeply driven by personal values, making them vulnerable to carrying the heavy emotional weight of the community’s issues.
Individuals can sometimes push past their personal boundaries out of a sense of duty. There is always the danger that this creates chronic, prolonged stress, eventually leading to motivation problems and perhaps even doubt regarding their actual impact.
It is vitally important that volunteers are aware of this potential pitfall and that groups or organisations have strategies in place to avoid it.
Is your group, committee or board prepared to deal with the burnout that sometimes accompanies activism?
This short webinar will provide you with some simple strategies to help ensure your group does not fall victim to burnout.
