I spent most of this week working in the Google Drive and the Speak! for the Unspoken volunteer page on Facebook. While looking at our results from the survey we sent out a few weeks ago, we decided we should try to reach more of our Volunteer base, which meant a lot of contact searching for me. So, that is exactly what I started doing. I was able to create a list of recent volunteers who had not completed the survey, and this list will serve as my starting point for volunteer interviews. With the recent holiday, it gave little time this week for volunteer interviews, so that is something that will continue next week. Speak! for the Unspoken actually had an intake on the 4th of July, and some awesome volunteers are what made it happen!

I also have spent time over the past few weeks revamping the application process for their different volunteer positions, as well as their adoption application. I have a few more interviews scheduled for this, but after those meetings I will be working on creating all of the new applications. So far I have completed the new volunteer application and just need to learn a bit more about the fostering process as well as the adoption process. I have those meetings scheduled for early next week, so the goal is to get those new forms created by this time next week! I also plan to learn more about our intake process, and hopefully attend another intake soon.

Next week I plan to have the volunteer surveying results completed and to be moving on to the planning stage for changes and whatnot. It is very exciting to be at this point in the process, as I love to “DO” so the waiting period was not my favorite. I also enjoy creating forms and documents to help better organize information, so this is the part of the fellowship I have been looking forward to most! I am also looking forward to an event that Speak! is having in the next few weeks so stay tuned for details! 🙂
