Volunteer Leadership Development Through Andragogy


Listen Later

This is a Google Notebook LM Audio Overview (i.e., "deep dive" discussion) of an  article published in The International Journal of Volunteer Administration. The article focuses on leadership development for local volunteers, presenting a case study of andragogy in practice.  It describes a seven-step process for planning and implementing professional development programs for volunteers, rooted in adult learning principles or andragogy. This approach emphasizes engaging learners throughout the process, from diagnosing needs to evaluating outcomes, and details its application in the Farm Bureau's "Strengthening the Voice" program, highlighting the mutual assessment and negotiation crucial to its design and success. The paper concludes by recommending this applied process model as a valuable guide for organizations seeking to build capacity among their volunteer leadership.
