The first session will be ‘Developing a digital volunteering vision’, focusing on the value of digital volunteers, what the digital roles your organisation is looking for and ways you can find and support your volunteers needs. Bedrock Basics Digital support officer will share ways to identify what skills gaps your organisation may have and how to work safely with volunteers and your organisation’s data. We will hear about digital volunteering experiences and some of the barriers organisations face when looking to work with digital volunteers.

We will also be sharing tools on how to do a basic digital skills audit, and looking at a digital policy and digital volunteering roles templates, to help get your organisation started!

These sessions were inspired by the TeamKinetic ‘Digital in Volunteering’ toolkit, which is worth a read. You can find out more and download a copy here Empowering Volunteer Managers: The Digital in Volunteering Toolkit – TeamKinetic
