Risk Management for Volunteer Engagers (2 days)
February 20, 2025

There is nothing to be afraid of when looking at Risk. The purpose of risk management is to protect your organization, staff, volunteers, and clients. The more you can make risk management a part of your organization's culture, the more it puts your organization, rather than the potential risks, in charge.
Managing risk doesn't have to be an intimidating or overwhelming task! We can help with that!
