Trauma-Informed Recruitment and Onboarding Training

In this session, you’ll be introduced to the six principles of trauma-informed practice and learn how to apply them to volunteer recruitment, onboarding, and support. We’ll also discuss how to practice inclusive recruitment while maintaining strong safeguarding and support measures.

Why Trauma informed practice matters?

Trauma can affect anyone, young people, groups, or communities, at different times in life. Trauma-informed practice helps create safe, supportive spaces where people can live, learn, and volunteer without added stress or harm. This matters in youth volunteering, where many bring their own lived experiences and want to give back to causes that have shaped them.
