Description:

From churches to youth sports leagues, from campus and community service clubs to non-profit agencies, volunteer-based organizations are vital to the functioning of society. Most of us will be involved with several such groups during our lifetimes. How can we function effectively within such organizations? How does the leader's role change when an organization relies substantially on the participation of volunteers? Through hands-on activities, readings, and interactions with a number of leaders in a variety of volunteer-based organizations, we will see how to develop our leadership capabilities so as to respond to the unique challenges presented by working in such environments. Morning sessions will be for presentations of new material and hands-on activities; afternoon sessions will be for class discussions and for interactions with current leaders. Prerequisite: None. Extra Fees: $25.00 A-F grading. Additional Activity times to follow.
