- Act promptly on the feedback you are given.
- Always keep a note of what is said and suggested by staff, volunteer surveys and evaluation forms, especially if some things can't be changed or implemented right now.
| Think about whether the positive experiences and build up of knowledge and skills are happening for the majority of volunteers or among a core of a few individuals. What would happen if these few individuals left the program? You might consider buddying up some volunteers with the more experienced volunteers so that the invaluable local knowledge and skills can be passed on. |
