Community Involvement and Volunteering Award

CIVA accredits up to 60 hours of community involvement and volunteering activity.  Divided into six modules - Starting Out; Planning and Preparation; Taking Part; Meetings; Issues and Needs; Personal Development - it is relevant for all people engaged in voluntary activity within their own community, school, college or youth centre.

Offering a flexible programme, this Award provides a certificate of achievement and progression into nationally recognised Awards and Qualifications and is particularly suitable for those with few or no formal qualifications.

Training for organisations

Volunteer Centre Liverpool provides training and short courses on all aspects of working with volunteers, including:

  • Recruitment and selection of volunteers
  • Dealing with difficult volunteer issues
  • Support and supervision
  • Communication and conflict
  • Improving your presentation skills
  • Recruitment and induction of trustees/committee members
  • Developing your volunteer policy
  • Active listening (basic counselling) skills
  • Legislation affecting the voluntary sector
  • Supporting volunteers with mental health problems
  • Promotion of equal opportunities
  • Involving refugees and asylum seekers

Accreditation & qualifications are also available

We offer the Managing Volunteers Award, accredited by Merseyside Open College Network (MOCN) and written specifically by and for people who work with volunteers. It is flexible, runs on a modular basis and uses real life examples and evidence from your workplace, rather than writing essays. We can also offer you the option to gain a nationally recognised qualification, the Advanced Award in Volunteer Management, which requires some additional coursework.

There are no exams for any courses - but lots of help and support!

For future details (including dates / venues etc.) please contact the Training Manager on 0151-707 1113 or e-mail: training@volunteercentreliverpool.org.uk.
