Stop Walking Your Bicycle:
Build Big Teams, Transform Your Work
If you want to have massive turnout every time and triple the number of volunteers giving their time and money to your organization’s goals, this engaging workshop is for you!
You’ll learn practical strategies for getting big, such as leadership roles and goals, facilitating one-on-one’s, making strong asks, and coaching. We’ll look critically at what you’ve done in the past, help increase your capacity, and identify the concrete next steps for upskilling volunteer organizing for future efforts.
What WE’LL COVER
Volunteer Leadership Development
Explore leadership development as the fundamental way to retain key volunteers and have greater impact on goals.
Leadership Ramp:
Roles & Goals
Help leaders create clear goals for their teams and define roles and specific descriptions for all the tasks that need to be accomplished.
One-on-One’s: Curiosity and Strong Asks
Refine the art of the 1:1 so that we can discover what motivates and inspires our volunteers and help match them to needed roles on the team.
Coaching
Review the fundamental principles of effective coaching, explore typical scenarios related to communications breakdowns, and to help participants anticipate their personal strengths and challenges as coaches.
Each of the four workshop sections is accompanied by pre-work (something to read or watch, followed by a pre- and post-test) and a list of resources for following up. The webinars are co-facilitated and have closed captioning and language accessibility integration.
As a coaching add- on to the workshop, we can build out the infrastructure and organize a strategy and workplan so that you can hit the ground running.
This workshop is offered live (in person or over zoom) and can be customized to suit your timeline and availability.
