Feral Volunteers

Ever had a volunteer who seemed to have a mind of their own? One who shows up when they want, does what they want, and can be downright unpredictable? Well, you’re not alone! Join us as we dive into the world of “feral volunteers” with expert guests Angela Meekins from the Tennessee Nonprofit Network and Natalie Patric from the United Way of Greater Chattanooga. We’ll discuss how to tame these wild spirits and turn them into productive, engaged volunteers. From crafting clear job descriptions to setting realistic expectations, we’ll share practical tips to help you manage even the most unruly volunteers. And yes, we even talk about the time a volunteer showed up dressed as a creepy clown! Tune in for a hilarious and informative episode that will help you turn your feral volunteers into a force for good.
