Always Remember: Supporting Hardware Testing volunteers is our number one priority as staff instructors! This means:
- Welcoming incoming volunteers at the beginning of the shift
- Introducing yourself to volunteers you haven't met before, or whose names you don't remember
- Giving volunteers choices about the kind of work they want to do that day, based on HT's needs, when possible
- Appropriately engage each volunteer in an appropriate task, trying to get all tasks covered
- Which volunteers are present during your shift? What are their strengths and weaknesses? Do they want to learn something new? Match up their interests with priority tasks
- Teaching volunteers how to test different kinds of gizmos, based on their interest, or facilitating another volunteer to teach them (as appropriate)
- Making them aware of their resources, *especially* our documentation, but also Google, the FG wiki, other volunteers, and you!
- Being available for any questions that they may have
- Remaining patient and friendly while maintaining good boundaries
- Providing volunteers opportunities to work on special projects, as is needed and appropriate
- Be sure to thank volunteers for their work as they leave
