I get to be a part of this! I distinctly remember the feeling I had as a new volunteer at the church my husband and I were helping to plant. While I was juggling an insane schedule with my job and navigating life as a newlywed, I couldnt wait to be a part of this church. I felt belonging, significance, and purpose.
After a few years that enthusiasm for volunteering led to me joining the team in a staff capacity. I was even more eager to bring my passion and gifts with full-time energy. It didnt take long, however, for me to realize the enormous challenge it is to lead an organization mostly comprising volunteers. The leadership required of me and my team was like nothing Id experienced before, even in the fast-moving corporate business culture.
Leadership in a business environment had its own unique challenges, but by and large the people on my team were committed to being there, if for no other reason than to ensure their compensation. While compensation alone isnt enough to keep people engaged, it does hold sway. Contrast that with leading primarily volunteers in my new church context, where we were competing with the demands of careers and family activities: I quickly realized an entirely new set of tools was going to be necessary to embrace leadership in this environment.
Now, as I work with churches and organizations across the country, one of the repeated challenges I encounter is the volunteer dilemma. Here are the problems I see:
Volunteers seem to have more demands on their time than ever.
Volunteers have difficulty committing at the level organizations need them.
Volunteers are inconsistent and communicate poorly.
Volunteers dont always understand the importance of their role.
Leaders have lost touch with what a volunteers world looks like.
Leaders underestimate what volunteers are capable of doing.
Leaders dont give appropriate time and attention to developing their volunteers.
Leaders see volunteers as a means to getting work done rather than seeing that leaders are positioned to help volunteers unleash their gifts.
The sentiment I hear from many leaders suggests that we have a volunteer issue in todays culture. And while there might be some truth to that, in my opinion, we dont have a volunteer issue as much as we have a leadership issue. Its all about our perspectives as leaders. Are we creating environments that motivate, engage, and deploy volunteers to use their gifts? Do we create cultures where they feel purpose and belonging?
