The most important missing role in the H+ community?

[David]

The H+ community as a whole knows about plenty of projects that it would be good to progress.

At the same time, there are many people in the H+ community, with a variety of skills and experience, that wish to support H+, but are unsure how best to do it.

In other words, there’s a need for us (the community as a whole) to become better at matching supply and demand – matching volunteers to tasks.

In part, this need can be addressed by a good tool. Hopefully, this H+ Connect tool can provide support here.

But in part, I think there’s an important role for someone I’d describe as the “H+ Volunteer Manager”.

To write a job-spec for this role, here’s what the role would involve:

• Keep track of list of tasks that will benefit from volunteers
• Ensure there are clear specs for these roles
• Find ways to publicise these roles
• Oversee a mechanism to assign volunteers to tasks
• Monitor the performance of volunteers
• Help assign “coaches” to volunteers
• Over time, ensure the volunteer mechanism can scale.

What do people think?

David, it seems we need to work more on advertising this website as well.

I think the site still needs some improvement before we publicize it…
