MS 259: The Volunteer Handbook
Instructor: Karin Hostetter
Dates: Nov 4 to Nov 29, 2013
Location: online at www.museumclasses.org
Description:
Volunteers should be considered unpaid staff and, like a staff handbook,
a strong volunteer organization should have a volunteer handbook. This
course goes beyond understanding various aspects of a volunteer program
to putting the volunteer program to paper. Create an outline and some
draft text for a handbook providing consistency within the volunteers as
well a legal support if ever needed.
Logistics:
Participants in The Volunteer Handbook work at their own pace through
sections and interact through online chats. Instructor Karin Hostetter
is available at scheduled times during the course for email support.
Fundamentals of Museum Volunteer Programs includes online literature and
student-teacher/group-teacher dialog. The course is limited to 20
participants.
The Volunteer Handbook runs four weeks. To learn more about the course,

The Instructor:
Karin Hostetter has over thirty years experience with museum education.
Karin has worked with volunteers throughout her career, becoming the
first paid volunteer coordinator at the Denver Zoo. Ms. Hostetter taught
the National Association for Interpretation's two-day volunteer
management course for volunteer coordinators and served on their panel
about volunteer programs. She authored a series of articles for the
National Association for Interpretation's Legacy magazine, providing
guidelines for developing and maintaining a volunteer organization.
Ms. Hostetter now consults with organizations on structuring and
improving volunteer programs. Karin Hostetter is owner of Interpret
This, a consulting company specializing in interpretive writing, program
and curriculum development, and volunteer program management. When she

contract teach at them with a special love for preschool and family
programs.
