17 & 19 February 2026
10:00 - 12:00
This online seminar provides a comprehensive overview of all the key stages required for the design, implementation, and management of a volunteer programme. It begins with the preparation process that precedes volunteer recruitment and continues with the practices and tools needed from the moment a volunteer joins an organisation through to the completion of the collaboration.
Particular emphasis is placed on the development of internal policies, the challenges of co-managing paid staff and volunteers, understanding volunteer motivations, and the ways in which management can strengthen volunteer motivation, commitment, and satisfaction.
The seminar will take place online in two sessions (Part A & Part B).

PREVENT Programme
The programme “Preventing gender-based violence and violence against children” (PREVENT) aims to prevent and combat gender-based violence (GBV) and violence against children, by supporting Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) active in these fields, in Greece and Cyprus, and by increasing their knowledge, capacity and sustainability. PREVENT is co-funded by the European Union (90% funding rate), through the Citizens, Equality, Rights, and Values (CERV*) 2023-DAPHNE programme, and by the Bodossaki Foundation and NGO Support Centre (10% funding rate), with the total grant amounting to €2.3 million.
