Professional Competencies Needed By A Volunteer Administrator

Most volunteer administrators come to the field from another job, career, or volunteer experience. Few have had special education for the position. Volunteer administration is a profession that requires knowledge, skills, and abilities for effective practice. The New Hampshire Association of Volunteer Administrators has developed a list of the competencies needed by a volunteer administrator.

This list can be used in many ways:

	To plan professional development education.
	To assist in choosing workshops and conferences.
	To assist in writing a job description for a volunteer administrator.
	To provide a base for performance evaluation.
	To build a resume.
	To inform supervisors, administrators, and others about the profession.
	To explain what it is that a volunteer administrator does.

This list is basic and is not hierarchal. Individuals are encouraged to adapt it to their personal needs and specific job description. Sections and subsections may be added. Categories may be ranked. It is the belief of NHAVA that no category should be eliminated.
