Presenter Bootcamp

Are you a volunteer engagement professional seeking to elevate your public speaking skills, turn an idea into a compelling narrative for training, or translate in-person training into an engaging virtual experience?

Consider participating in the AL!VE Presenter Bootcamp, a program specifically designed to elevate presentation skills in volunteer engagement. The program is offered annually each Spring over 8 weeks and is available only to AL!VE members.


Benefits

Professionals at any level are invited to participate. The virtual 8 week course covers topics like:

  • Idea development
  • Creating a presentation from scratch
  • Practice opportunities
  • Feedback from experts in the field
  • Webinars led by your peers
  • Community of Practice style discussions
  • Opportunities to use the skills you learn
  • And much more!

These components are designed to put theory into practice. Attending a majority of course sessions and a final presentation is required to graduate.

Participants who demonstrate proficiency with course concepts will be certified as an AL!VE Presenter and have the opportunity to present at an AL!VE Academy. All participants receive CVA credits for sessions they attend live.
