AIDR
Article
The Volunteer Leadership Program (VLP) is a dynamic, immersive residential two-day (two night) program for emergency sector volunteers with aspiration and aptitude to support their organisation’s leadership. It is a personally challenging and richly rewarding experience aimed at providing you with the foundations for capability and confidence for leadership. In taking part, you will be part of a collaborative learning experience, participating alongside volunteer leaders from other emergency management focused agencies, and generating knowledge and sharing experience.
The VLP introduces practical leadership frameworks through the use of interactive activities led by engaging and experienced facilitators. The program covers skills for you to improve awareness of your team, yourself and others including:
- leadership and management strategies in your volunteer agency context
- contemporary issues facing the emergency management sector
- leading change in your organisation
- building and maintaining motivation of volunteers
- identifying (and working with) different personality types
- resolving conflict, addressing performance issues and giving critical feedback
- identifying stress and self-care strategies
- Each program allows for additional topics to be incorporated based on the unique interests and needs of each group.
