Organizing volunteers

When you’ve solicited volunteers, you need a plan.

Volunteers like helping. They like being useful. They like following directions. They like to contribute.

Showing up is a way of saying, “I’m here. I’m ready. Tell me what to do.”

Volunteers who haven’t been given direction are frustrated volunteers.

Don’t be afraid to delegate. And since you can’t delegate without a plan, start with the plan.
