- Carried out in three phases: Phase 1: Send out, collect and analyze survey data from volunteer base of 16 organizations Phase 2: Identified 25 volunteer management practices being done successfully by rural groups; transplanted and documented trial practices for one year. Phase 3: Outreach and dissemination of information through workshops, workbook, webinars, etc.
