Screening proportionate to role, first-shift success design, and recognition rhythms reducing churn.

Steps

  1. 1Match screening depth to actual role risk; consistent per tier
  2. 2First shift pairs newcomer with seasoned volunteer, never solo
  3. 3Role descriptions state time commitment honestly upfront
  4. 4Check in at 2 weeks and 90 days; early friction predicts churn
  5. 5Recognize hours milestones personally, not just annual certificates
  6. 6Exit conversations with levers: role fit, schedule, respect

Common Pitfalls

  • ▲Background checks for cookie-sorting alienating helpers
  • ▲Star volunteers exploited until they vanish resentfully
