Volunteer resource managers are primarily charged with oversight of transactions or tasks conducted by their volunteer force for the improvement of social, economic, or environmental conditions. However, a deeper goal focuses on the developmental aspects of working with individual volunteers. Transformative learning focuses more on the development of volunteers in addition to task accomplishment and often brings changes in work styles, world views, and/or personalities. Transformative learning can lead to better and more autonomous decision making and personal actions that better align with personal values. Transformed volunteers often provide deeper and more meaningful service than those simply accomplishing tasks. The life and work of the volunteer resource manager can also be impacted by the volunteer’s growth process.
