Volunteer Program Structure.

Give the volunteer program a clear owner, a place alongside staff, and simple tracking, so it does not live in the executive's spare minutes and fall apart.

Part A. Coordination

Who owns and coordinates volunteers, even if it is part of someone's role?

How do volunteers work alongside staff, and who supervises them day to day?

Who does a volunteer go to when they need something?

Part B. Tracking

Set up the simplest record you will actually maintain.

Who your volunteers are and how to reach them

Their roles and their availability

Their hours, if you need them for reporting or recognition

Keep the tracking simple enough that it actually gets kept. A spreadsheet that is maintained beats a system that is not.

Uses the roles from the Volunteer Role Designer. Its tracking supports recognition and coordination later. Back to the guide, or start over.
