  • By letting go of some of the details that take over your day and inviting more volunteers to handle them.

  • Expanding the time you have available to focus on your passions and interests.

The course also provides opportunities to connect with staff and volunteer peers across the country who are working through similar challenges.  Sounds good, right? And to make it even better, flexibility is built in to help you fit the training into your work and play schedule!
