Managing Volunteers in Language Teacher Associations
Ashcraft, Nikki
English Teaching Forum, v60 n4 p10-20 2022
Many Language teacher associations (LTAs) are nonprofit organizations and thus rely heavily on volunteers to carry out their mission. A volunteer is a person who donates time and labor in service to others. In the case of LTAs, volunteers play key roles in governing the association, planning and realizing national conferences and local workshops, editing and publishing newsletters and journals, raising funds and awarding scholarships, and managing social media and outreach, among the myriad of other activities in which LTAs engage. This article will outline the basics of volunteer management for leaders of LTAs and the people who volunteer in them. These steps are analyzing volunteer needs, recruiting volunteers, matching volunteers with tasks, orienting and training volunteers, supervising and evaluating volunteers, and acknowledging volunteer contributions.
