Join us as we talk to Ruth Leonard, Head of Volunteering Development for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Ruth is the author of the recent book “Volunteer Involvement: An Introduction to Theory and Practice,” which offers a broad and balanced background picture of thinking about volunteer involvement, to encourage all those who want to work with volunteers to think and act together collaboratively and respectfully, and also to critically reflect on what they hear, what they see, and what they plan.
Ruth challenges conventional wisdom by advocating for a dynamic and adaptable approach to volunteer management, one that prioritizes critical reflection and responsiveness to individual circumstances. She explores the nuances of volunteer engagement, highlighting the transformative power of inclusive practices and the essential role of volunteer leadership in driving positive change within communities.
This episode was hosted by Rosterfy's Global Head of Marketing, Martin O'Neill.
