Returning Volunteers
Many of our volunteers leave the Adoption Program not realizing how they can further contribute to Free Geek.
This page is designed to help a person organize the Adoption Graduates who want to further volunteer at FG
Contacting Adoption Graduates
- Use Spreadsheet to access Adoption Graduates who wanted to volunteer again
- Check and see who is currently volunteering
- Call those who are not!
- Introduce self as a volunteer (if this is true!) and ask if s/he would like to volunteer some more
- Introduce the Build Program. If s/he is interested, redirect them to the Front Desk where they can sign up for a shift
- If not interested in Build, give the option of doing more Receiving/Recycling Shifts OR being placed on a "Skill List" where FG organizes interested volunteers for Big Projects i.e. Building Things/Carpentry, Reorganization/Moving Things, Painting, Sew Crafty Night.
- Finally ask each person if s/he would like to be contacted in May regarding volunteer opportunities at the Geek Fair happening in June/July
