Produktbeschreibung

This community-based action research study determined support initiatives that the BC Lacrosse Association (BCLA) should provide to assist volunteers with the sustainability of their local community lacrosse associations. With provincial emphasis on volunteer retention and increased participation, the results of this research determined that the BCLA must continue to engage, encourage and empower the individuals who volunteer at the community level. An online survey, community of practice dialogue forum, and regional focus groups provided the vehicles for collaboration with the key stakeholders who informed this project. In the spirit of the BCLA s transformation into a learning community, the research findings have been categorized under organizational culture, volunteer culture, learning community and community leadership topics. Key recommendations that will service the future needs of grassroots lacrosse volunteers include: conducting an audit of the current organizational culture, available resources and best practices; and the development of a Volunteer Leadership Coaching Certification Program.
