SAM Volunteer Management Cascade Training

The aim of SAMi Volunteer Management cascade training is for local, sub regional and regional volunteering infrastructure organisations in the North West to receive practical experience of using SAM Volunteer Management so they are able to cascade down the benefits of SAM Volunteer Management to volunteer involving organisations in their local community.

Our definition of volunteering infrastructure organisations refers to any voluntary organisation that supports local volunteer involving organisations. SAM Volunteer Management cascade training would also be appropriate for an individual who’s role is to support volunteer managers across two or more branches/ projects within their organisation.   

What are the benefits?
SAM Volunteer Management, combined with the training on how to use it, will help you to increase your capacity and services.  It will assist you in supporting volunteer involving organisations to:

  • Identify areas of improvement
  • Identify successes
  • Act as a starting point for recording information
  • Act as a record of what’s being done
  • Ensure best practice
  • Identify their training needs
  • Identify problems and solutions
  • Start a new area of work
