Working With Volunteers
LEADERSHIP COLUMN FISHERIES, JANUARY 1994. working with volunteersHandling the What's in it for me? Question. By Linda Rosenberg.
http://www.fisheries.org/resource/unitsurv/lead_article.htm

Extractions: Handling the "What's in it for me?" Question By Linda Rosenberg In today's society, volunteers think hard before they commit their time and efforts to a professional society such as the American Fisheries Society (AFS). Those days when people would blindly work "for the cause" or to "give something back to their society" are gone. Today, if you want people to volunteer, you must be able to answer one basic question: "What's in it for me?" Or, put another way: "What will my contribution of time and energy do to advance the Society's goals in which I'm interested?" It isn't the amount of time they would spend volunteering that bothers them it's the amount they're afraid they're going to waste. So if you want to put your volunteers to good use, let them know what they will get in return for their investment of time. What do volunteers want? Recognition, rewards, and a sense of accomplishment. Volunteers want to do something worthwhile and do it well. They also want someone to recognize their contribution appropriately, to make them believe they are "successful" volunteers. Sometimes a volunteer leader only has to say, "Thank you you did a great job," but that is a minimum! If you give your volunteers a job to do, you must do everything possible to show them the job is meaningful, worthy of their time, and an important contribution to the Society's success. Make sure you give them a "volunteer-sized" piece of the action along with the resources to accomplish this task. This might mean breaking a large job into several smaller ones handled by one or more volunteers with a series of deadlines. It might also mean providing training on computers or other equipment to ensure they not only have the resources but the know-how to do the job right.

Extractions: BACK WORKING WITH VOLUNTEERS Reflections on 20 years in Adult Literacy by JOAN GIUMELLI In this article I would like to offer some personal thoughts and conclusions on volunteer tutors in adult literacy, based primarily on my long association with volunteer programs in NSW. I know that there are considerable differences in such programs from state to state, but I hope that my recollections will have resonance for others working in this rarely visited field. The early days Growth and tensions What about volunteer programs? My personal position in all these arguments remained pro-volunteer, because I believed that the two systems (professional - group tuition and volunteer - 1:1 tuition) were not in competition, but complementary. Noone would deny the need for a learning pathway through accredited courses for those who need or want them; on the other hand, there will always be those who are not ready for group tuition, whether emotionally or in skill level, and those for whom informal, private, flexible learning with a nonprofessional helper exactly meets their needs. Consequently, I resigned from TAFE in 1987 and with those tutors and students who walked out with The Network is still very much part of our local community in the north of Sydney today, partially funded by BACE (Board of Adult and Community Education) but the rest comes from fee-for-service work and fund-raising. We operate as professionally as possible, insisting on substantial training for tutors (but not competency-based), careful assessment and matching, and close liaison of student/tutor pairs with their coordinator. Indeed, many people who have gone on to careers in Adult Basic Education received their initial training and first supervised teaching experience as volunteer tutors.

http://www.w0ipl.com/ECom/vol.htm

Extractions: Working with Volunteers "Eighty percent of those people not volunteering say the primary reason they didn't volunteer was because they weren't asked." There has yet to be a volunteer that appeared by magic, at just the right time, knew all phases of emergency communication, could pick up any ARES job, complete it successfully, work without thanks, disappear when not needed and reappear when needed next. With the above in mind we then need to plan a way to obtain the next best thing.

Volunteers working with volunteers, The volunteers you will be workingwith will respond well to being entrusted with responsibilities.
http://www.earthday.net/howto/workingwith.stm

Extractions: Establishing Committees Consider designating committees through which work can be divided up. Several different committees may emerge to work separately on projects that interest particular individuals. An events committee might work with a communications committee to produce a calendar on which all events and related deadlines might be posted. Once all activities and deadlines are listed, everyone can refer to the calendar to be clear about who is doing what, where, when, and why. The Importance of Specific Assignments Be organized as you seek volunteers, and be prepared to offer specific assignments. One of the easiest ways to lose volunteers is to get them excited about a project and then not have a specific task ready for them to do. However, this word of caution doesn't mean that you must have all details worked out in advance; helping with planning is a substantial part of many volunteer tasks. It is essential to have things defined clearly enough so that each person knows what s/he has agreed to do and when it needs to be done. Make sure every task has a target date for completion.

Extractions: Asking for the names of 2 referees is becoming standard practice in many voluntary organisations. A relative, or someone under 18, is not acceptable as a referee. Preferably a referee should have known an applicant for at least 1 year. Police checks may be part of your procedures but beware - there is a danger in relying too much on them - negative results can give a false sense of security. There can be no substitute for good supervision of volunteers if they are working with vulnerable people, or otherwise in positions of trust. Have you considered what level of check is needed for the work your volunteers do? Basic? Standard or Enhanced? Refer to the

http://www.nzpf.ac.nz/vols.htm

Extractions: By Doctor Linda Vining After surveying hundreds of school volunteers in a wide range of schools and exploring the factors that motivate them, Linda Vining has written a very handy book which would be a very useful addition to every school library. This is a very easy to read book, well set out and full of practical ideas on how to attract, train, manage, motivate and retain people who are out there in every school community. The value of school volunteers and their gifts of time are well known to all educators but how to gain the best out of these people is clearly explained in this book. "The mood is right to attract volunteers but the management structures must be in place to retain and encourage them." The author successfully outlines clear guidelines as to the best way to set up a volunteer programme. Richly illustrated, and with the addition of actual volunteer’s personal accounts, this book sets out to give schools a formula for effectively managing volunteers who help in the classroom, on the sport’s field, as fund raisers and as members of committees. "If managed well volunteers are hidden gold with the potential to stretch school’ resources."
