Publications and Products Related to Ethics in
Volunteer Administration
You are trying to solve a problem that confronts
you: a disagreement among staff and volunteers, among volunteers or
between yourself and your boss. As you generate alternative ways to solve
the problem, you want to choose the one that is the most ethical. Wouldn�t
it be helpful to have some guidelines
that help you make ethical decisions?
AVA has developed those guidelines in Professional
Ethics in Volunteer Administration, recently revised in its 3rd edition. This 25-page bound document is
the state-of-the-art guide in professional ethics for those involved in
coordinating and leading volunteers. Its easy-to-apply format includes
instructions on how and when to use it, charts of core values with
corresponding ethical principles, actions, and program components, a flow
chart and a worksheet. This document is a practical tool for anyone who
faces challenges in a variety of situations involving volunteers, and is a
valuable addition to courses in volunteer administration.
