Motivating volunteers to take initiative involves fostering a sense of ownership while ensuring they understand their limits. Here’s how:

• Set clear goals: Define the mission and specific objectives, so everyone knows what success looks like.

• Offer autonomy within guidelines: Allow freedom in approach but provide a framework to ensure consistency.

• Provide regular feedback: Offer constructive criticism and praise to guide and motivate performance.
