Most Volunteer Managers Have at Least a Minimum Level of Training. If organizations reported that they have a paid staff member who dedicates time to managing volunteers, we asked if this person has any formal training in volunteer administration, such as coursework, workshops, or attendance at conferences that focus on volunteer management. We learned that paid staff volunteer coordinators in 66 percent of charities and 72 percent of congregational social service outreach activities pass this minimum threshold for training in volunteer administration. Larger Charities Are More Likely to Assign Paid Staff to Volunteer Administration. As indicated in figure 3, the likelihood that a charity has a paid staff volunteer coordinator increases with the size.
