GETTING THE BEST OF VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF
Voluntary Organisations, Non Governmental Organisations
And Charity Organisations
Generally use volunteers
Some, if not most of the volunteers, are not formally trained
This may be due to financial constraints
Or because there are no proper systems and structures in place
Yet the output from volunteers
Could be multiplied;
And resources effectively managed
Time and effort may be effectively used
And the stress and strain on all parties minimised
All it takes is an investment in training
This may be once or in instalments
The training could contain specific and generic content
Membership sites could be leveraged for suitable access.
Audio, video and text could be used
The content could come from ‘experts’
Internally, externally or both
Volunteers and staff could have access as necessary
The access could be paid- for, by the organisation
Individuals or by sponsors
Although there may be cost implications
The return on investment could be multiplied
Apart from adding value to the organisation
It also adds value to the individuals, community and society
You may ask how this is a business idea
As a Content Creator
You could create and articulate the content
You could either be the custodian…
Or you sell or manage it;
Terms and condition will apply
You could replicate this business model to different organisations
And make money by so doing

-basic information technology skills
