Building a thriving distributed organizing and nonprofit volunteer management program

Build the support you need to advance your mission.

This companion resource packet for our guide, Building a thriving distributed organizing and nonprofit volunteer management program, is for nonprofit staff and volunteer leaders alike. Our goal for these templates is to help you put the advice from our guide into action.

We've included:

• a volunteer role description template to help you design the roles you want volunteers to perform;
• a supporter enthusiasm matrix to help you evaluate your readiness for a distributed volunteer program;
• a repeatable processes template to guide your program administration and help you scale up over time; and
• an overall program checklist to help you stay on track.

A strong distributed program needs strong processes in order to build trust with volunteers, scale up over time, and ultimately advance the mission you all care deeply about. We hope you find these templates useful, and we’re rooting for you!
