Log in to Community Door Network Spaces Working with volunteers Author: Stephen Hutchison Organisation: Queensland Council of Social Service Printer-friendly version Send to friend Most community groups would not exist without the work of volunteers. Often the day-to-day work of the organisation and fundraising depends entirely or in part on volunteers. In not-for-profit organisations, this includes the volunteer members of the management committee who are not paid for accepting their roles. Finding the best volunteers for your organisation and making sure that you support your volunteers to do their job will benefit both your organisation and its volunteers. Before your organisation begins working with volunteers, you will need to decide: what jobs might be suitable, who will help your volunteers with their work, and, what resources are needed such as a desk, phone or computer. You should also consider whether you would be able to pay reimbursements for travel expenses and if you have appropriate insurance cover including volunteer personal accident and/or public liability insurance. Some volunteers will approach an organisation directly because they know about what you do and are interested. You could also decide to advertise to find someone with particular skills. There are many places that you can advertise for free including newsletters that are published by your organisation or another group or the internet.

(Sept. 3, 2010) - PPL Montana will reopen the road that provides access to its Madison Dam and public recreation areas immediately downstream in the Bear Trap Canyon for the Labor Day weekend. "Safety of the public and employees continues to be the top priority as we move forward with plans to repair Madison Dam,? said David Hoffman, director of External Affairs for PPL Montana. ?In consultation with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, state and federal regulatory agencies, geologists and other experts, PPL Montana has determined that conditions are safe for public use of the road, and that?s good news for the Labor Day weekend." Equipment atop the west side of the dam was damaged by a falling boulder from the wall of Bear Trap Canyon early Monday (8/30). The road will be opened at 7 a.m. Saturday (9/4) and remain open until sunset on Monday (9/6). The road will remain closed on weekdays to allow construction equipment to access the dam. It may reopen on weekends after Labor Day, depending on the status of the work being done at the dam. Hoffman said PPL Montana is sensitive to the importance of the fisheries, angling and boating on this popular section of the Madison River, and to the local economy.

A lively and interesting Zangbeton ceremony, dinner festivities, vappu celebration and excursions to Ouidah, Abomey and Cotonou have filled my last weeks. A delegation group from Finland visited Villa Karo so I had quite a lot of program with them and we went on various trips, which was pleasant. I also had a vappu celebration at my place, which is rather amusing as I never celebrate vappu in Finland. Vappu celebration in Grand Popo meant dinner for about 30 people, if not more, drinks and drumming until the early morning. The next day, the 1st of May, there was a staff and stipendiat lunch at Villa Karo which was very amusing. The amount of laughter and dancing always blows me away. I also managed to put some different pictures on the internet so check out this link.

Working on both sides of the volunteer line over the years has given me some insight into how to look after your volunteers, as well as getting great productivity out of them. 1. Capacity What can and can't a volunteer do? Let's keep in mind that smaller, regional groups are often one hundred per cent volunteer run. The Board are all volunteers, so is the General Manager, the promotions person, the office staff etc. Keep this in mind when deciding what tasks a volunteer can and can't do. Because in smaller organisations volunteers do it all! 2. Burn Out Some organisations, tend to overuse and eventually burn out their best volunteers. For example, a local group sees Toby who is great with kids and is asked to help with the kids program. Then the local group finds out Toby plays guitar so they ask him to help in the youth band, (with 2 practices a week), then they are so impressed they ask Toby to lead a weekly counselling group. On the odd weekend that Toby isn't playing in the band, they ask him to help with busy bees and other weekend activities. Then they also want Toby to go to a volunteers conference, and weekend retreat for their volunteers, and a couple of trips into the city. By this stage Toby is feeling quite overwhelmed and under-appreciated. The local group asks Toby and his wife to attend a marriage enrichment weekend - but unfortunately by this stage Toby has already burnt out and has suffered a nervous breakdown, is on anti-depressants and his wife has left him!

Working With Volunteers A man was delivering penguins to the zoo when his van broke down on the highway. A fellow stopped to see if he could be of assistance. "Oh, I'm in some real trouble here" said the first man. "I've got to take these penguins to the zoo today, and now I'm not sure I'll get there." The helpful fellow volunteered to put the penguins in the back of his car and take them to the zoo. The man with car trouble gratefully accepted this offer and promised to get to the zoo as soon as possible. A little later, the man was on the road again and went immediately to the zoo. He looked everywhere but did not see the helpful fellow or any of the penguins. In a panic, he drove back into town. Just as he was wondering what in the world to do next, he saw the "volunteer" walking across the street with all the penguins waddling along behind him. He ran up and said, "What are you doing here? I thought you were going to take the penguins to the zoo!" The volunteer replied, "I did, and we had such a good time there, we decided to come into town for ice cream."

Bramingham Wood is an area of natural woodland, located immediately to the north of the town of Luton in the County of Bedfordshire. In 1985, the Woodland Trust, a nation-wide charity now with in excess of 100,000 members, took over the management and subsequently the ownership of Bramingham Wood from the then private owners. Consisting of approximately 45 acres, the wood is classified as an "ancient woodland" in that it has known to have been in existence for at least 400 years and has probably been a woodland for much longer. Soon after the Trust took over the wood, the Bramingham Wood Volunteers were formed - an initially unskilled group of local residents who cared about their local wood. The group have carried out the work on behalf of the Trust since this time, creating firstly a network of paths through the wood. Then the "coppice with standards" management was re-introduced which involves cutting an acre of wood every year on a 12 year cycle, leaving particularly good standard trees to grow on.
