6 Ways to Enhance Staff and Volunteer Capabilities.

This brochure from the National Responsible Fatherhood Capacity Building Initiative discusses six strategies for enhancing staff and volunteer capabilities in programs promoting responsible fatherhood. The strategies include: develop workshops or training programs or take advantage of those offered by other organizations, agencies, or associations; have staff and volunteers attend regional and national conferences; use professional coaches to provide the customized guidance that program management, staff, or volunteers need; organize a peer mentoring group with other professionals who serve fathers in your area; promote the use of web-based courses, conferences, and training for staff and volunteers; and identify the skills and knowledge that management, staff, and volunteers should focus on to expand program capacity and compile a comprehensive reading list that can be accessed by staff and volunteers.
