Pretty new to this Josh (we've only been running two years and it
was mainly just me in the first year) but I've found that building
a diverse group of volunteers and matching skills and desires to
tasks is working pretty well. Some people are more admin focused,
some are brilliant mechanics but hate paperwork and general
workshop tasks, some are really detail oriented, others less
so....have you set out a core list of needs of the enterprise, and
a core set of competencies (and ratings) for volunteers? This is
something I'm looking to start formally, but with only a handful
of volunteers, it's much easier at this stage. Also, are long
serving volunteers training others and do they appreciate how
they're building your organisation and a key part of it as a
result?
