We can't do it without you.
Volunteer learning is offered in varied methods to best meet your unique learning styles: written resources, face-to-face learning and interactive online learning.
One of our favorite volunteer development series are IGNITE leadership retreats. These are half-day, full-day, or weekend-long conferences that offer a variety of workshops to enhance your leadership skills. Each IGNITE offers different workshops for new and experienced leaders so that you can keep coming back year after year. Check out our events and activities to see the latest volunteer training opportunities and IGNITE retreats.
