great tips!!

Thanks for this - especially for the sample job description worksheet. It forces one to decide what exactly needs to be done and helps decide exactly how to segment that work. It's always great to have enthusiastic volunteers, but if one does not have a specific task, usually the volunteer will lose interest or feel as if they are merely wasting their time! Purpose is incredibly important in volunteering - not just having a goal but having mini goals along the way so progress is both seen and felt among the team. Other tips include making 'team' leaders among your group, making sure your team has international travel insurance if your volunteer effort is out of country, and making lists of goals for your entire team!
