Most volunteer programs use interviews to screen and place applicants. But do you use them at mid-course and at the end of a person's service?

In this interactive workshop, participants will learn about and practice conducting interviews for placement, evaluation and closure.

You will leave with a plan for effective interactions with your volunteers at key points in their service.
