NFCB has produced this manual in recognition of the tremendous human
effort that nourishes community radio. We have amassed your collective
wisdom in this concise yet comprehensive guide to volunteerism. Community
radio relies heavily on the hours and creativity offered by volunteer
workers or unpaid staff. A station's approach to the role and contribution
of volunteers has tremendous impact on organizational character and
is an important factor when evaluating the station's overall performance
in serving the needs of the community. If the station treats the volunteer
with the same professionalism given a paid worker (i.e., recruiting,
selecting, and training the right person for the right job), then the
volunteer will take the station seriously. Recognizing the volunteers'
impact on the station is the first step towards developing a comprehensive
volunteer management program. Volunteer management is both a strategy
and a philosophy - it's a way of looking after your unpaid workers that
benefits everyone. The purpose of this manual is to offer a simple guide
to volunteer management at a community radio station.
