Administration of Volunteer Programs as a Career: What Role for Higher Education?
Abstract
This study sought to identify how administrators of volunteer programs regarded volunteer administration as a career and the extent of their readiness for greater involvement with higher education. Four hundred sixty-three usable questionnaires from full-time, salaried administrators were returned and analyzed. Finding are reported regarding demographic characteristics, professional commitment, volunteer program status, preparation needed by administrators, and the role of universities. The study concludes that higher education institutions should proceed cautiously in developing degree programs or elective clusters for pre-service or in- service development of administrators of volunteer programs.
