Our development process included two phases of pilot testing. First, seasoned MFVs tested and provided formative feedback on the first iteration of the MFV CEP modules. After revising the modules in response to their feedback, we evaluated program effectiveness by comparing pretraining/posttraining score change between MFVs who had completed the training (intervention group) and those who had not (comparison group). All test scores increased for intervention group members, whereas half declined for comparison group members. Our process of developing enhanced education to address program-specific volunteer capacity building has broad applicability.application/pdfenIn CopyrightdiabetesCooperative Extension1110 Nursing1117 Public Health and Health Services1303 Specialist Studies in EducationDeveloping a Master Food Volunteer Continuing Education Program: A Model for Volunteer Capacity BuildingArticle - Refereed2022-01-24Journal of Extension572Rafie, Carlin [0000-0002-1402-5650]Hosig, Kathryn [0000-0001-9418-8830]Wenzel, Sophie [0000-0002-6961-3820]
