There will be opportunities throughout the session to reflect on your current methods of recruitment and volunteer management. OCVA’s Volunteering Development Officer will offer her thoughts on how to retain volunteers based on professional experience and the findings of national research.
The course will be run in person at our OCVA training room allowing time to network and connect with others.

Jenny Bowley is OCVA’s Volunteer Development Officer. She has spent the last twenty years in Youth and Community work, working in education, local council, social housing and health. Her roles as Community Youth Officer and Community Development Officer have extended her knowledge of the VCS sector and she has had a variety of voluntary roles to give her first-hand experience of volunteering. In her current role at OCVA, she works to raise the profile of volunteering and helps organisations to achieve their outcomes through the recruitment, placement and retention of volunteers. This involves helping organisations promote their work and their volunteering opportunities through print and electronic media as well as managing Oxfordshire’s premier volunteering brokerage site “oxonvolunteers.org”.
