When a volunteer agrees to join you for a community project, confirm the project details with them by providing a phone call or e-mail that:
- Introduces you as the Project Coordinator;
- Thanks them for volunteering;
- Provides the date and time of the project, project site address and directions for getting there;
- Describes what will occur at the project;
- Lets volunteers know what to wear/ not to wear;
- Encourages volunteers to bring supplies they may have (i.e. tools, rakes, etc.);
- Provides contingency plan information (for example in case of rain);
- Tells volunteers who to contact if they have a change in plans; and
- Provides parking information.
