Two free trainings will help you with relationship building

Sign up now for Working Partnership Agreement and Communication Not Confrontation

Registration is open for two training sessions that are designed to improve your relationships while working on volunteer projects. The training sessions are free and open to volunteers through the Volunteer Learning Center (VLC) in October and November. 

Register for one or both training opportunities by logging into the VLC and searching for the course and time you desire.

Working Partnership Agreement

This 90-minute virtual session will give staff and volunteers a chance to be a "fly on the wall" for a partnership agreement discussion. A Partnership Agreement is the basis of a great relationship between volunteers and staff and, if done well, is a living, working document that changes and develops throughout your time in a role and your overall career.

Communication Not Confrontation

Dive deeper into overcoming conflict.  Most of the time conflict is the direct result of a conversation you are not having or if you are having it, are not having well. Join this 90-minute virtual session as we lay out a process to help you plan for that conversation as well as steps to take to start a conversation in the right way to put the relationship at the center.

Training: Using and Editorial Calendar to Organize Content

Information to post on our social media accounts comes from many directions. This presentation will walk you though where to gather information, how to organize the information and how to keep all the details in the volunteer lane and not a full time job! RSVP to the Facebook calendar event to stay updated and get reminders.

Fall Fundraising Challenge

Cancer doesn't take days off. Neither do we. That's why it's time to rise to the challenge - our fall fundraising challenge - and at least $200 by November 15 for your Relay For Life event.

Not only will you be doing all you can to help the American Cancer Society provide crucial services that cancer patients count on every sing day, but you'll also earn a super soft long-sleeve T-shirt!

Kick into high gear by using Facebook Fundraiser - through your Relay dashboard- and our FUNdraising App so you can more easily get and track donations.

The more you raise, the more we can do to help those fighting cancer - like provide more breakthrough research, free rides to chemo, and places to stay near hospitals. You'll also help ensure we can provide our lives 24/7 helpline for anyone with cancer questions or concerns.

Get all the graphics and info you need to promote this Fall Fundraising Challenge (and don't worry, if you are a Fall Relay - this challenge will be available for you early next year).

The challenge ends November 15, so it's go time!

Childhood Cancer Month: #GoldTogether

The #GoldTogether movement, is a national Relay For Life program, that specifically raises funds to support childhood cancer research, support services, and awareness as well as promote cancer prevention efforts targeting children.

The Gold Together team connects and empowers children and families impacted by cancer.  It creates a community within the Relay For Life event where children and families can share their stories and learn more about caregiver resources, new research, treatments and support services that positively impact their lives.

The Gold Together movement was created by the positive energy of childhood brain cancer survivor and Relay For Life volunteer Cole Eicher.  Gold Together team sponsors and team members play an active role in funding the fight against childhood cancer.  In 2019, #GoldTogether has raised $500,000 for childhood cancer research.
