Evaluation
All organizations have the right to regularly monitor and evaluate
the work performance of volunteers. Volunteers have the right to
regular feedback and evaluation on their work assignments.
All volunteers need to know that evaluation is a part of ongoing
screening and volunteer development. Evaluation is important to
improve services, solve problems and support the volunteer.
Tools to help in the evaluation of volunteers can be found here.
Volunteer Management Audit: Canadian Code for Volunteer
Involvement
The Volunteer
Management Audit: Canadian Code for Volunteer Involvement has
been developed by Volunteer
Canada as a tool for non-profit and charitable organizations
to assess their volunteer resources program. This audit tool is
composed of seven sections which will provide important information
about volunteer involvement and management practices within your
organization. Please note that it is not necessary for your organization
to have adopted the Canadian
Code for Volunteer Involvement in order to complete the audit.

Voluntary Sector Evaluation Research Project (VSERP)
The Voluntary Sector Evaluation Research
Project (VSERP) is a five-year initiative to improve the capacity
of voluntary organizations to assess their performance and communicate
their effectiveness to their funders, stakeholders and the public.
The project has been developed to respond to the need that many
voluntary organizations have to demonstrate the effectiveness of
their work, both as a means for improving their programs and services
and as a response to the demands of funders and the public.
VSERP is co-directed by the Canadian
Centre for Philanthropy and Centre
for Voluntary Sector Research and Development and works in partnership
with United Way
of Canada - Centraide Canada, YMCA
Canada, Volunteer
Canada, Max
Bell Foundation, CCAF
Canada (formerly the Canadian Comprehensive Auditing Foundation),
Community
Foundations of Canada and Philanthropic
Foundations Canada. The project is being funded by a Community-University
Research Alliance grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities
Research Council (SSHRC), an independent federal granting agency,
and the Max Bell Foundation. It also receives support from the Human
Resources Development Canada.
