A clear mission — why does this project exist? what is it setting out to achieve?
An invitation to participate — do you have an unambiguous call to action?
Easy onboarding — are there small, simple tasks/activities that new volunteers can begin with?
A modular approach — do volunteers have to commit to helping with everything , or is there a way which they can use their knowledge, skills, and interests to contribute to part of the project?
Strong leadership — do the people in control of the project embody the mission? do they have the respect of volunteers? have they got the capacity to make the project a success?
Ways of working openly and transparently — does the project have secret areas, or is everything out in the open?
Backchannels and watercoolers — are there ‘social’ spaces for members of the project to interact over and above those focused on project aims?
Celebration of milestones — does the project recognise the efforts and input of volunteers?
OMG, I’m gonna use this for talkgroup audit (2020) . But for talkgroups. I’m sure it will need tweaking, but it’s kinda what I’m going for, on reflection.
