Welcome to OzVPM

- the Australasian Volunteer Program Management web site

Our site has been developed to assist those who have a responsibility for the management / coordination of volunteer groups.

This involves a diverse range of people, including the leaders of scout & church groups, environmental projects, sporting clubs, service clubs and not-for-profit board members.

At OzVPM, we aim to give you access to a wide range of resources that will assist you to:

  • support volunteer management in your organisation
  • professionally develop as a Volunteer Program Manager
  • find up-to-date and relevant resources about volunteerism
  • link with others working in the field

Our site is also designed to cater for all levels of experience - from new coordinators, wanting to learn the basics, right through to experienced volunteer program management professionals, wanting to keep abreast of the latest trends.

We trust you'll enjoy your OzVPM experience
