Subscribe to the Network4 Roles Leading Volunteers
I really liked this older post from Jeff Borton on the roles lead youth workers play with their volunteers. Here’s a clip of the article, hope he gets back to blogging soon, because that’s good stuff.
3. Manager. Am I being a wise steward of our volunteers time and resources? Do I frustrate volunteers by not casting vision and reaffirming their role in our process? Are the people that are “on the bus” in the right seats? As a manager of volunteers, am I managing with efficiency? Are leaders being challenged and exercising their gifts?
4. Cheerleader. Leaders need to hear encouragement. The “wins” and victories must be celebrated both personally and corporately. Leaders need to know that their commitment and contribution are recognized and valuable. They need to know that their investment is making a difference.
