Working well with volunteers
The Church Urban Fund has published some great resources on 'Working Well With Volunteers' to help guide churches and church-based organisations.
"Churches vary enormously in resources - human and otherwise - but they all rely on volunteers. In many churches the word volunteer is not specifically used and people see what they are doing simply as Christian service. The resources offer a range of suggestions and templates to help make working with volunteers as effective as possible, without trying to pretend that one size fits all.
"The guidance is divided into 7 broad sections, each with a guidance sheet, supported by adaptable samples or templates:
-
Clarifying Tasks
-
Taking On Volunteers
-
Building Good Relationships
-
Encouraging Development
-
Tackling Difficulties
-
Agreeing Principles
-
Managing Formalities
-

CUF are very open to receiving your thoughts as well in order to improve the material for everyone.
Well done to CUF for pulling all this together. I hope it helps you.
