Local Group Toolkit

Welcome to the Local Group Toolkit

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.

Where Should I Start?

New to volunteering?

Start with the guide for your role:

• Membership Officer (pilot effort)
• Area Coordinators (related to pilot)

Local Group Flexibility: Every Local Group organizes volunteer roles a little differently. These responsibilities may belong to the Local Membership Officer or be shared among multiple volunteers.

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
