Areas for Agency Improvement Chart: Ask volunteers what suggestions they have for improving various aspects of the agency.

Summary

Organizations and volunteers can both benefit from reviews of volunteer performance. Reviews will be most valuable when they are done at appropriate times and in appropriate settings. Volunteers and supervisors both need to prepare for discussions.

Having a standard format makes it easier to be consistent, to document the discussion and to remember to cover all points you want to focus on.

Activity

Using the charts shown above and at least one volunteer in your agency, conduct a performance review. If you are not comfortable doing this in an official capacity just yet, ask for a volunteer to role play with you.
