Topics covered include: program planning and operations; volunteer recruitment, training and management; evaluation guidance; suggested policies and procedures; liability and insurance; and marketing. Specific training curricula are not included but suggested content for training and orientation, as well as many training resources are included. The purpose of this step-by-step manual is to help community-based programs assess their individual needs, plan and implement volunteer respite programs, and assist state Lifespan Respite programs as they address the requirements in the Lifespan Respite Care Act to build respite capacity through volunteer training and recruitment. Interspersed throughout the document are text boxes with additional resources for reading further on that topic, highlights of National Volunteer Respite Initiatives, and examples of local volunteer respite programs. It is our hope that as state Lifespan Respite programs develop statewide systems of coordinated and accessible respite services, they will use this guide to help them directly or through their subcontracts with faith- or community-based organizations to pursue respite expansion by using volunteers in an array of respite care options for families.
