Meghan (in purple) with a few GFC girls
| Meet Meghan Arrigo, the Western Regional Program Director of Girls For A Change. When Meghan found herself needing to take on the management of about 50 volunteers, she discovered a surprise bonus with the America Learns Network. “The surprise was that America Learns is an amazing resource for staff when you have a staff person in transition -- so either when a staff person leaves or when you bring a new staff member on board." Click here to listen to a quick discussion we had with Meghan about the ways she used the Network to maintain GFC’s highest program quality standards during the staff transition period. The following is a brief summary of what you’re listening to. How Meghan used the Network to help herself in her new volunteer management role: - Saved her time
- Saved other resources
- Helped her to maintain program quality and integrity
- Helped her to preserve GFC’s high touch volunteer management and support model
How Meghan used the Network to benefit volunteers during the transition process: - Facilitated a seamless transition from the previous volunteer manager to herself
- Didn’t have to ask volunteers to spend time updating her about progress to date
"Volunteers have been so pleased with the transition because I've been able to just jump in. I haven't had to have them give me a lot of history of what's going on because I had the information at my fingertips." | You go, Meghan! Keep up the awesome work. |
