Indealist's own Volunteer Management Resource Center has a section on professional development. See http://www.idealist.org/en/vmrc
The website http://www.coyotecommunications.com/ offers information on many related topics, especially related to "virtual" volunteering — that it, volunteering using an Internet connection rather than going to a worksite.
