    • The Volunteer Center's online volunteer management course was an excellent tool for anyone working with volunteers in schools. It was practical, informative and allowed participants to create their own action plan for recruiting and retaining volunteers. We required our AmeriCorps members to take this course and will be using it for training and professional development again with future corps.
