Welcome to the Local Group Toolkit
Welcome!
Thank you for volunteering with your Local Group — your time, energy, and care make our community stronger, more connected, and more welcoming.
This toolkit helps volunteers succeed faster, with less stress and less guesswork.
New Volunteer? Start Here
Most volunteers benefit from following this progression:
| Step | Focus | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| First Steps | Learn and observe | Understand how things currently work |
| Next Steps | Clarify and stabilize | Improve consistency and identify quick wins |
| Settling Into the Role | Build and improve | Move from reactive to proactive |
See below for guides to specific roles.
