After last year’s highly successful Youth Volunteers Forum, Volunteering Victoria is proud to present its second forum on Advocacy: Skills, Methods and Means! – as part of the celebrations of National Volunteer Week 2014.
The focus of the Forum will be on advocating for recognition and support of volunteering and volunteer management. It will provide answers to “How do we become good advocates for volunteering and volunteer management? What are the skills, methods and means used by successful advocates? How do you develop an advocacy campaign and motivate others to be involved?”
