HOW TO SUPERVISE VOLUNTEERS

considerable period and involve service by a number

of people. If, for instance, a girls' club is to be

established, a committee of women may be of great

assistance to the volunteer club leaders, just as

Troop Committees are a help to Scout leaders. Sim-

ilarly, a Children's Garden Club or a Community
Christmas Celebration is more likely to succeed if

a committee is formed to carry out the project. Such
a committee can formulate plans and recruit the volun-
teer workers, and also, through the personal interest,
advice and cooperation of its members, help with the
job itself.

Volunteers may be stimulated to do better and better
work by:

Press notices and other publicity regarding faithful
or outstanding service.

Public recognition of recreation volunteers, as
through election to membership in a service club or
honors paid them at an annual dinner.

Distribution to volunteers of bulletins, magazine
articles, and other publications relating to their
work,

Occasional conferences at which volunteers have an
opportunity to discuss their problems with an out~
standing recreation authority.

Interchange of service with neighboring communities,
as through a play exchange circuit or exchange con~
cert service.
