onboarding for cohort founders

Hey - I would be really interested in knowing how onboarding works for volunteers these days. Do you have links you can share with me?

Yes, this is the main document for all volunteers including cohort founders! However, cohort founders should have a deeper onboarding! https://docs.google.com/document/d/11YoZbTasrQb6lCcDQUSBbpIFr2ruKhGWiefiBDIL9wM/edit

Some points from me for the cohort founders:

  • Organise, but not deliver: A strong training explaining this so they do not get overloaded
  • Hire volunteers: having a good and reliable team is key
  • Flipped classroom: they must be the advocate for this
  • Lead by example: stay back and let others do things, but give feedback when needed (to volunteers and trainees)
  • Clarity on reaching out when needing help: what should go to volunteers, what should go to staff

Note: I will leave this in Blacklog as we are not onboarding cohort founders now!
