Volunteer Tips
- It’s easy to focus on just giving out meeting times and locations and missing the larger role that we can fulfill.
- You will get calls requesting meeting info, but our main function is to be a friendly, welcoming voice.
- In addition to finding a meeting, the Caller also wants to know what to expect at their first meeting. Remember yours? They are probably anxious about the unknown.
