Note From Beth: Colleague Ben Rigby, co-founder and CTO of Sparked , a micro-volunteering networked has a problem. All the job requests from nonprofits are getting down and micro volunteers are standing by to help your organization. It also requires management sometimes training from nonprofit staffers, which can be burdensome.

And the problem is, although financial incentives are a weak motivator, they can be a strong de-motivator. 1 This will happen regardless of the compensation system, but performance-based pay raise systems, by nature, create unequal, variable pay, which compounds the problem. Someone calls to complain, and you are doing a bad job.

First, some volunteers may have physical limitations such as health, sight, or hearing problems. An additional problem can occur with volunteers who “age in place,” which means they joined the organization at a younger age and have lost some abilities. Seniors can often apply skills from their former jobs to a nonprofit.

I like to think of it this way: Organizations may have the research or data, the capacity and staff, to identify problems and opportunities, to build messages, calls to action and campaigns. But, we have to train them! We have to train our communities to drive with us. But, alone, the organization can’t make the change.

The leaders I met weren’t just there to tell you how to get a job, but to also live a leadership life. Because everyone has different ideas and different solutions, which there is always a thousand ways to solve one problem but what’s important is coming together with the solution that will help the most."
