Workshop Description
Volunteers are essential to every Main Street program, but it can be a struggle to attract and maintain good ones. Find out how Clovis Main Street in New Mexico, a semi-rural community of just under 40,000 found a way to engage its volunteers. Over the course of three years, the board developed a volunteer action plan to meet its needs and maintain the integrity of the Main Street Four Point Approach®. The new structure focuses on “task squads” that carry out simple events and activities that a volunteer can accomplish in short, specific time frames.
 
Learning Objectives:
Understand the task squad concept.
Learn how to develop effective volunteer-driven action plans.
Apply this new approach in part, or in whole, in your community.
Help volunteers develop tasks they are passionate about within the mission of Main Street.
