Volunteer training program for Animal Rescue Fund, Muncie, Indiana

As a not for profit, volunteer based organization with just four full time employees, Muncie Animal Rescue Fund depends on volunteers to run their organization. If volunteers do not understand their responsibilities or behave negligently during their volunteer time, there can be a significant impact on the function ofthe organization. As a Human Resource Management major, I sought to solve this organizational problem by designing a training program for volunteers at Animal Rescue Fund. This artist's statement outlines the process used to develop this training program and the research that supports this methodology. The final training program is then presented.
