Organizational Membership Plan
The Everyone Ready® Volunteer Management Skill-Building Program has been serving large organizations since 2005 to deliver quality online volunteer engagement training to everyone in their network. . Learn more about the full organizational membership plan at http://www.everyoneready.info.
Individual Membership Plan
By popular demand, individuals can get access to many of the benefits organizational members receive — monthly featured topics, alternating Online Seminars and Self-Instruction Guides, interactive discussion boards, the e-Volunteerism journal, and more. Sign up for a 1, 2 or 3 year-long membership (or, even a 2-month trial membership).
Build Your Career
Concrete, practical tools from the best trainers and experts in the field will help you lead volunteers and organize volunteer programs effectively– and to be an effective in-house educator to the rest of the staff about working with volunteers.
The hours you spend learning count toward CVA recertification or AHVRP recertification.
Work on Your Time Schedule
Online materials, in easy to digest bite-sized chunks, are brought directly to your desktop, anywhere in the world. Work at your own schedule and pace, 24/7. Regular communications from us remind you to stay involved and get your thinking cap on about the current featured topic. Just 2 hours total per month—you have the ability to interact with each topic’s materials over 30 days—devoted to your professional development.
Save Time, Money, and Travel
A full year of learning priced more affordably than attending a single conference! No costs or time for travel (and reduce your carbon footprint). But still get opportunities to connect and share ideas withother leaders of volunteers around the world.
