According to “365 Ideas for Recruiting, Retaining, Motivating, and Rewarding Your Volunteers,” by Sunny Fader, best volunteers have some or all of the following ten traits:
1. An ability to get along with people
2. A cheerful disposition
3. Patience
4. Self-motivation
5. Flexibility
6. Organizational skills
7. Dedication
8. Reliability
9. Attention to detail
10. A sense of humor
My conclusion; good volunteers are good people.
Or is it a bit of a stretch?
