title: Managing volunteers.
abstract: This brief provides an overview of how to identify, select, train and retain volunteers. The next issue will focus on costs (both hard dollar and staff time) associated with volunteer programs, as well as profiles of Medicare education and advocacy programs that have successfully integrated volunteers into their efforts. Additional information and sample materials can be found on the Center for Medicare Education Web site (www.MedicareEd.org).
