Distinguish volunteering from work-trade?¶
- A member works for the organization as a volunteer and a customer donates time to the organization as work-trade
- Change/Add benefits for membership?
- Customers who do work-trade do not get the same benefits as members who volunteer
What makes a volunteer at Free Ride¶
- Volunteering does the same work as work-trade and also helps with more higher-level aspects
- Require members to staff 1 time per month, and remove the existing volunteering requirement?
- Can participation at committee meetings act as a substitute for staffing? Should that also be once per month required?
- Need a good orientation and training program to handle the large number of new staffers
- Need to smooth-out the logistics of staffing so that less people make mistakes
- How do we deal with keys and access to the shop? (web interface to open the door remotely)
Questions for the council¶
- Who makes a good staff volunteer and why?
- What will their role be? How will they help out?
- What benefits will they get and why will they want to staff?
- Can we come up with a clear job description?
- Include the FR mission and also outline expectations for staffing
