THE S.O.S. GOAL AND S.O.S TEAM DATA ABOUT Volunteers

YOUR LEADER NEEDS TO KNOW YOU

PRINCIPLE: THE LEADER MUST KNOW AS MUCH AS HE CAN ABOUT HIS PEOPLE SO HE CAN MANAGE THEM WELL. The team members are people: with likes and dislikes, motivations in life, real situations, real needs, real struggles. The leaders of the S.O.S. team are facing this challenging task of handling different kinds of people. The volunteers can help the leaders by providing them with relevant data about themselves.

Answers to the questions in the form will help the leaders:
1. To check on volunteer classification.
2. To find out who are able to handle difficult contacts/converts.
3. In giving other specific assignments as reflected by the volunteers' work experience, educational attainment, skills and talents, church ministry experiences and dialects spoken.
4. In determining second milers.
5. In approving requests to leave the field for week-end and other emergency activities.
2. VOLUNTEER'S PROFILE

As much as the volunteers are willing to disclose of themselves, the information in the VOLUNTEER’S PROFILE form will greatly assist the leaders in dealing with them. In dealing with members, leaders should start where his members are. Acceptance at the start as what a person is will help bring out the best in him. Positive traits must be commended first then the negative areas of his life that needs adjustment can be better dealt with. The answers to the questions in this second form will be valuable in motivating, understanding, counseling, correcting and disciplining the volunteers.
