Some colleagues and I surveyed volunteers recently in relation to their involvement with an international Masters Games event in our State. The events took place in a rural/regional area. The volunteers received education and training about their involvement in this event and what outcomes they mainly envisaged from their volunteering. We think that we have some interesting quantitative findings supported by a smaller amount of qualitative (interviewing) data. I thought that I would consult the 'wisdom of the crowd' around essential reading/seminal research on this topic. Much of the research seems focused upon sports volunteering and the really big events - Summer and Winter Olympics, World Cups and Superbowls rather than smaller-scale events. Our focus is education and volunteering more than the more widely researched motivation of volunteers.
What is required from me in this regard? I am yet to figure out what I needed to do here.
Thanks for your interest Maruff - I was looking for literature/relevant references on this topic.
Oh! I may not be able to help in this regard because this is not my area of expertise. I wish you the best in this academic exercise.
