  1. Meet with Communities of Practice to refine role definitions and brainstorm on any necessary additional roles.
  2. Finalize definitions and Create a Master Role Markdown file for Step 3.

Purpose

We want to be able to connect new volunteers with opportunities and to define scope and interest for roles.

Use/Application

When a new project comes online, we will post a role description publicly on the website with details about the role along with the need capacity. Furthermore, we can post these roles on our outreach platforms/sites to expand awareness as well.

Lift

Developing a defined scope for all roles will provide a clear structure and direction for recruiting from the proper pipelines. This process will be built upon in the Specific Role Recruitment Pilot.

Pending Tasks
