Volunteering Victoria is teaming up with field academics to bring you a new masterclass series for 2020. This program is exclusive to CPD members and free in 2020. Limited seats available.
In addition to our standard suite of volunteer management workshops, we’ll be running one research focused masterclass per quarter. These Masterclasses will count towards your CPD points and leave you more connected to relevant research in the sector.
Got someone that you’re keen to hear more from? Let us know. These research focused masterclasses are a new initiative for 2020 and we’d love your input about who you would like to hear from. In the meantime, keep a look out in Engage & Exchange for further announcements about dates and speakers.
