Volunteers

Our board members are our primary volunteers, as they are the most dedicated in terms of time.

We have volunteers that help with aspects of our nonprofit administration.

• Especially for our two board committees (finance & legal, audience development)

• For example, Jeff Anderson is a superstar volunteer who had ~5 hours per week to dedicate, so he took over all donation logging, responses, and fulfilling member packages.

Note: We generally try to pay everyone we can unless they specifically want to volunteer or unless we've determined it's an area we need covered, but can't afford to hire for.

• Putting out a graphic on our sm/email when we have a specific need

• NEW: The Point app

  • • Note; this is only event based. You can only invite volunteers to an event. So, we'd have to host a volunteer orientation or something.

    • Cassie is the admin, so she is the person who logs in (or someone needs to do it via their account). Their onboarding email:

      • • You’re officially part of the club and we’re so happy to have you. You can use POINT to post events and find volunteers.

        • Need help? Check out the articles under “Support” on the dashboard. OR, chat me up on the chat function in the bottom left-hand corner for real-time support.

        • Tips for Using POINT:

          • • Invite your current volunteers to download POINT for free on the app store. Here’s how your volunteers will use the POINT app.

            • Great events to post on POINT are one-time events, orientation sessions for long-term volunteers and hands-on activities.

            • Make event templates for common events so you don’t have to keep retyping the information.
