Preparing for a sponsored event so that it can be successfully executed is the primary focus for a volunteer coordinator.  Every aspect of the event and where volunteer versus paid staff would best fit and serve must be examined. Additionally, based on the level of participation, the number of participants, and skill sets, a projected time-line must be developed with an acceptable deviation.

Develop a pseudo-event for the organization of your choice and prepare a template on how you will mobilize volunteers and staff to complete the event. The following items must be included.

The event
The purpose
Dates and times
Responsibilities need for paid staff versus volunteers
Pre and onsite training and communication
Leadership strategy
Transportation if needed
Set up
Venders, if present or needed
Foodservice if offered
Clean up
