Demonstration of Volunteer Committment
The purpose of this wiki is to show volunteering for an organisation as opposed to spare-time... Although I don't see this adopted in the near future, I believe having a visual picture of volunteers needs provides a more holistic approach to volunteering at Westminster U.C.
In addition to this diagram, each person should indicate their short-term and long-term goals and needs for volunteering. This will create a database or resource to help analyse and match-up work, etc. By being totally transparent, this will provide ample evidence of how much one does, and the challenged that all the church members must accept and address for continued success in order for the church to thrive.
As for myself, I am still wrestling with me providing fee-based courses at Westminster due to cost/benefit analysis. Curriculum design is an IMMENSE time-related activity. I am literally "straddling the fence" wondering whether or not to risk the huge time effort in developing curriculum if there will not be sufficient and continued enrolment of students to pay as a return on my time investment...
Another labour-intensive endeavour is technical documentation. For example, here is a WIKI that I have been authoring for quite some time to provide technical details for the setup of the computer lab: [ http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Computer_Lab_Manual ]
I could easily see myself absorbed in this documentation indefinitely, and thus the need for volunteers to allow me to focus on this activity. This is why I feel that I simply don't have any time to volunteer for "other things" like ushering or coffee-time. I like this to be an informational resource that someone could view first, prior to asking... I don't know if it relates to other people, but anything technical in nature is usually not seen by others without some sort of resource such as this...
I will add more information on this WIKI later.
