Cape Cod Volunteers is joining up with the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, Cape Cod Young Professionals, and the Community Leadership Institute to offer a Cape Cod Leadership Forum: Building Board Leadership.
If you are a young Cape Codder, find out how you can help build a stronger community through Board participation. If you are a nonprofit representative, come and hear how young Cape Codders are already taking on leadership roles. Post your Board positions in advance of the Forum so that people can find your opportunities!

Effective Volunteer Management Training
Save the Date! The Effective Volunteer Management Workshop will be held Wednesdays, May 16 and 23 in Harwich. More information to come.
Congratulations to the first group of nonprofit representatives to go through the Effective Volunteer Management Training!
Cape Cod Volunteers held its first two-part workshop for nonprofits on building effective volunteer management programs in November 2011. The two-part training covered assessing an organization’s volunteer needs, to essential components of building or strengthening its volunteer program, to recruiting and retaining volunteers.
The workshops were led by Patricia Rowell, former Volunteer Services Director at Mass General Hospital and an internationally-known volunteer consultant, and Kathi Sommers, lifelong volunteer and former President of the Cape Cod chapter of MSPCC.

Thank you for your support of the first Serve-A-Thon!
Cod Volunteers thanks the volunteers, partner sites, sponsors, planning committee members, and friends involved in the first Serve-A-Thon!
Because of your efforts:
The Family Pantry got closer to putting the community garden to bed (which provides fresh produce to Pantry clients);
Cape Rep Theater got painting done of a building that houses their actors (saving resources by having housing right at the theater);
Edward Gorey House had windows washed and got part of its barn cleaned out (making it easier to see all of the wonderful and odd collections of the famous writer and artist);
Cotuit Center for the Arts had painting done of one of its studios (making it even more inviting for artists of all ages to create masterpieces); and
Housing Assistance Corp’s Carriage House has a sparkling clean child care center (making it a fun and healthy environment for the kids to play)!
Thank you to our Serve-A-Thon Sponsors!
