Turn round way of learning about volunteers (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rotate

'turn round' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'way of learning about volunteers' is the wordplay.
'way of learning' becomes 'rote' (I've seen this before).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'volunteers' becomes 'ta' (abbreviation for Territorial Army).
'rote' placed around 'ta' is 'ROTATE'.

(Other definitions for rotate that I've seen before include "Pirouette" , "roll" , "Whisk round" , "Spin round" , "Alternate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
