Testimonials

" The workshops I have attended at the Volunteer Bureau of Montreal are very enriching and nourishing and have made a significant difference in the way our regional organization recruits, trains, and develops its volunteers. The workshops provided me with the necessary tools and resources to help our team redefine what volunteering in our organization really means while also providing me with a sense of what we are doing that works well for us a whole."

" I've always enjoyed the training sessions at the Montreal Volunteer Bureau. The animators are very knowledgeable and present in a professional and interesting manner. I especially enjoy the verbal exchange with all the other organization representatives. It makes for a very informative and constructive day."

" As a new volunteer coordinator, I appreciate a lot the training that I've received from VBM workshops (The Essentials). The workshops not only provided me professional techniques and useful tips, they also gave all the participants a chance to exchange/share our valuable experiences and opinions. It's really an essential course for those who work with volunteers."

" I attended the workshop on Recruitment early in 2008. I found the hands-on exercises done in small groups to be helpful in terms of applying theory to practice. It was also interesting meeting other professionals working in similar fields. I shared the material I gathered at the workshop with my team. We found the examples of recruitment messages and "blurbs" to be particularly useful in guiding our own recruitment strategy.

I especially appreciated the willingness of the instructor to answer my questions and offer support weeks after the completion of the workshop."
