Consistency in a volunteer base creates greater opportunities for meaningful spiritual growth with young people. Learn how to support the life cycle of a volunteer, establish ways to help volunteers evaluate their effectiveness, recognize the needs for training, and create effective means to show your appreciation for their generosity.
