Build a Volunteer Team

When recruiting a volunteer team, you should start with a core group of about six to eight dependable individuals. A group this size is manageable and will function well to help you make important decisions about your event. Based on their skill set and interest, these six to eight individuals should each be assigned an important event component. Such categories could include marketing, budgeting/sales tracking, volunteer recruitment, logistics, etc. These project leads can also recruit their own mini team of volunteers to assist them to fulfil their tasks. It is important to assign and define roles and responsibilities at your initial meeting so everyone will know what is expected of them from the start.
