  • 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.
