Learning needs of volunteers - analysis. Mapping report 2020

Aims of the tool

The survey results are aimed at providing insights on the learning needs of volunteers, as a critical step while creating a personal development plan for volunteers and for enabling volunteers to achieve success in their personal development path. This information are aimed at helping the staff in any Non profit NGO to improve the quality of
volunteering programs, finding the best way to meet the specific personal empowerment
needs to the needs of the reference communities.
The purpose of this survey is to help NGOS and public bodies staff to identify training priorities in volunteering programs. In the survey we asked to volunteers and potential volunteers to evaluate
their current skills in some key areas and to connect it with the interest in further
developing the examined skill in the frame of some volunteering programs. This tool was realized in the frame of an Erasmus+ project entitled "Yes volunteering", supporting the exchange of best practices in adult education from 6 Eu countries.
