     The PAVRO Professional Development Team is Proud to Present:


    The AI Toolkit: 4 Free Tools to Transform Your Volunteer Program
    with Veronica Deally

    Join us on Thursday, June 18, 2026, at 12 PM EST

    Description: Are you feeling the weight of administrative burnout? In the world of volunteer engagement, we often find ourselves buried under "robotic" tasks—drafting role descriptions, chasing schedules, and formatting newsletters—leaving little time for the human connections that fuel our mission.

    Join us for a practical, "no-tech-experience-required" session where we reveal how AI is a catalyst for capacity by helping small teams do big things. We will walk through four powerful, free AI tools specifically curated for volunteer managers. You’ll learn how to use AI as your new "digital assistant" to handle the heavy administrative lifting, allowing you to reclaim your time and bring back more meaningful connection with your volunteers.

    What you’ll walk away with:

    • The 2026 Toolkit: A hands-on look at 4 free tools you can start using tomorrow.

    • The "Human-First" Workflow: How to use AI to draft the work while you provide the heart.

    • Live Demo: See how AI can solve your biggest "blank page" headaches in under 60 seconds.

    Stop managing the "noise" and start leading the "signal." Let’s discover how to make technology work for your people, not the other way around.
