Volunteers to advisors : a reflective study of leadership, education and change in a Third Sector organisationCrespi, Mirinda Carmen January 2011 (has links)
This thesis explores how I have taken steps to improve my practice of leadership as a Chief Executive within a Third Sector Drug and Alcohol Support Service and to build professional identities for volunteers in the service. I studied how volunteers’ identities changed from that of ‘Volunteer’ to ‘Advisor’ and what I learned about myself as a leader. I noted the value of studying my own reflections as a leader and how change became embedded throughout the organisation as a consequence. As a result of this process, I developed a mnemonic that I consider to encapsulate key aspects of leadership. This is entitled ‘CAVEAT’ and identifies competency, visibility, empowerment and a therapeutic orientation as important qualities of a leader in positions like my own. The study is informed by in-depth focus group discussions, semi-structured interviews, personal reflections, questionnaires and surveys. It provides recommendations for Chief Executives of Third Sector organisations involved in leadership and the professional identity-building of a volunteer workforce in an era of outcome-based commissioning.

Getting Volunteer Teachers and Urban Parents to Work Together: a Study of an Effort to Establish a PartnershipTucker, Ingrid Laura January 2009 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Robert J. Starratt / Parent involvement is critical to student success. Many schools across the nation are making a concerted effort to establish relationships between teachers and parents. There are a myriad of barriers that prevent those relationships from occurring. The challenge is even greater in urban schools. This qualitative case study examines the impact of volunteer teacher perceptions and attitudes on establishing relationships with urban parents at an all girls' middle school in the inner city. The study specifically investigated the beliefs of volunteer teachers before and after their participation in the study. The study will also examine whether teachers considered parents as an in integral part in supporting their children's learning as a result of their participation in the study. Five volunteer teachers, a master teacher and the parent coordinator participated in the study over the course of a year and a half. The data from this study showed that despite cultural and socio-economic differences, volunteer teacher can work with urban parents. The findings indicate volunteer teachers do value parental involvement. Teachers believe with continued professional development, they can establish authentic relationships with parents. Teachers in the study reported that parents want the best for their children. Teachers indicated that their relationships with parents are critical to student success. The findings of this study will provide implications for educational practice, policy, future research and researchers' leadership. Limitations to the study include a small sample size, the duration of the study and the role of researcher as Head of School. / Thesis (EdD) — Boston College, 2009. / Submitted to: Boston College. Lynch School of Education. / Discipline: Educational Administration.

Self-perceptions of volunteer management:: a texas 4-h volunteer needs assessmentTorock, Jodi Lynn 15 May 2009 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to assess the management of volunteers through
self-perceptions of Texas 4-H volunteers. This research was an on-line questionnaire
designed to assess volunteers’ attitudes toward recruitment, orientation, training,
resources, utilization, motivations for continuation of service, and recognition.
The population was volunteers enrolled in the Texas 4-H Program during the
2007-2008 program year. The census included 711 Texas 4-H volunteer respondents.
This study used a questionnaire designed by the researcher and a team of faculty and
staff at a major land grant university and a demographics questionnaire. SPSS® 16.0 for
Windows® was used to analyze the data.
The study revealed that most Texas 4-H volunteers are oriented and trained in
their roles and responsibilities as a volunteer, have additional opportunities for training
in their role as club managers or project leaders, have the resources necessary to fulfill
their role, and are recognized for their contributions to the Texas 4-H Program.
However, as with any program, there is room for improvement. Respondents indicated a need for curriculum development in volunteer and club
management. Additionally, 83% of volunteers began volunteering because they had
children or family enrolled in the 4-H program; however, volunteers are motivated to
continue to serve as volunteers because they want to help youth and support youth
development, the 4-H program, agriculture, and family and community development.
Respondents indicated they chose to discontinue serving as a 4-H volunteer due to lack
of county Extension staff support, lack of time, children aging out of the program, and
burnout.
The following recommendations for action were based on the findings and
conclusions of this study. Volunteer orientation and training programs should become an
integral part of all county 4-H volunteer management programs. Curriculum should be
developed in the areas of volunteer and club management. In addition, all volunteers
should be recognized for their contributions to the program. Orientation, training, and
recognition of 4-H volunteers will provide opportunities for volunteers to build an
affiliation for the Texas 4-H program, and in turn, motivate volunteers to continue to
serve the 4-H youth development program.
