Site-Based Trainers Forum

Sharing our challenges, exchanging solutions, and building community around managing volunteer docents-in-training

Welcome to your peer support space! This forum is designed for site-based trainers to connect, collaborate, and learn from each other's experiences in managing volunteers. Whether you're facing a tricky situation or have discovered something that works well, this is the place to share and get support from colleagues who understand exactly what you're navigating.

This is a collaborative space where trainers can post questions, share challenges, and offer solutions to help each other succeed. Every trainer brings unique insights from their site, volunteer group, and community context. What works at your location might be exactly what a docent at another site needs to try. Don't hesitate to share your ideas, even if they seem simple—sometimes the most straightforward solutions are the most helpful!

Post Your Challenge: Share a specific volunteer management situation you're facing and invite others to offer their insights, experiences, and resources.

Share Your Solutions: When you see a question where you have experience or ideas, jump in and help a colleague! Your perspective might be exactly what someone needs.

Learn Together: Even if you don't have the same exact challenge, reading others' posts can give you new ideas and prepare you for situations you might encounter.
