Am I Making the Right Decision? The Role of Ethics in Volunteer Engagement
Overview: We all encounter ethical dilemmas in our daily work with and for community, but rarely do organizations focus on ethics related to volunteer engagement. This session provides an opportunity for practitioners to understand the difference between personal, organizational, and professional ethics. The core values and principles identified by the CCVA will be shared. Participants will learn a process for ethical decision-making that can be applied in any situation, and then practice this using real-life scenarios related to volunteers. Finally, several specific strategies will be offered for increasing awareness of ethics within an organization and helping both volunteers and staff become more effective at handling ethical dilemmas.
Date: Friday, September 18, 2026
Time: 12:00PM–1:00 PM
Audience: Hospice palliative care coordinators/managers of volunteers
Speaker: Faiza Venzant, CVA, Executive Director, Council for Certification in Volunteer Administration
