Learn from the experience of others

This resource was designed by VISTAs for their successors. You can adapt this volunteer management tip sheet to fit your own program.

Consider how volunteer roles and responsibilities differ from member positions. This will help ensure clarity about positions within your organization. Volunteers may not be displaced by members.

This tip sheet was contributed by Chicago Public Schools Homeless Education Program (Chicago, IL) , a VISTA program that works with low income and homeless students to assure they are provided with educational opportunities that are equal to those of other students.
