An in-person training workshop for Maui County nonprofit organizations will be available to learn how to grow their volunteer program by partnering with local businesses.
The Maui County Department of Housing and Human Concerns Volunteer Center, in collaboration with Maui United Way, will host the "Partnering with Businesses to Grow Your Volunteer Program" workshop on Thursday from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the J. Walter Cameron Center in Wailuku.
The training will address how a nonprofit business can get ready to include new volunteers and best integrate their efforts into their work schedule and the existing volunteer program, the news release said.
Workshop attendees will learn best practices and trends in corporate volunteering, including ideas for how to partner with businesses of all sizes and design volunteer programs that meet the needs of the organization and businesses.
All attendees will be entered to win a $100 donation for their volunteer program.
"Events like this give our nonprofit organizations much-needed training and support which in turn helps them make a greater impact for our community," said Volunteer Center Coordinator Wendy Stebbins in a news release.
The free workshop is presented by Shanda Vangas, founder and principal of Fourth Wave Strategies consulting firm, which is a corporate responsibility and social impact consulting firm. She is also the current chair of the Maui United Way Board of Directors.
For more than 25 years, Vangas has worked to tackle critical social issues while having served as an in-house CSR leader in corporations, a nonprofit executive, an AmeriCorps member and an educator on CSR and nonprofit management best practices.
