The 1989 edition of Steve McCurley and Rick Lynch's basic text on operating all facets of volunteer involvement. 

The first booklet in PROVOL's Volunteer Management Made Easy Series, which includes: Research, Recruit, Retain, and Recognize.  This booklet on Research covers the work to be done before that new volunteer walks through the door for the first time, even when the pressure to recruit new volunteers can be pretty intense.

This video was filmed on the 25th anniversary of the UC Volunteer Management Certificate program, founded in 1972 by Marlene Wilson.  It provides a rare opportunity to see and hear 10 of the well-known trainers and thought leaders of the 20th century:  Marlene Wilson, Mike King, Jane Justis, Betty Stallings, Marilyn MacKenzie, Violet Malone, Elaine Yarborough, Mike Murray, Donna Ewey, and Arlene Schindler.  Each presentation addresses one of the elements of volunteer management practice, including Recruitment, Interviewing, Conflict Management, Training and Recognition. This timeless content remains relevant and inspiring for both new leaders of volunteer engagement and those with more experience in the field. 
Length: 1 hour, 12 minutes.

Exploring Volunteer Space: The Recruiting of a Nation is Ivan Scheier’s exploration of the universe of volunteering. Ivan ponders much of what volunteering can be and a great deal of what would happen in volunteering in the future. While Exploring Volunteer Space is a highly conceptual work, it has great and continuing relevance to practitioners who think about the development of volunteer engagement.
