As a volunteer Greyshirt with Team Rubicon, I cannot relate.

One of our cultural principles is, literally, “Get shit done”.

Another is, “Your mom’s a donor”.

In your position, I might recommend associating with other volunteer based non-profits and gather some good, concrete concepts around how they plan, their guiding values, how they organize and conduct activities, how they source supplies and execute logistics to support their volunteers, etc.

These relationships and ideas may give you some concrete feedback and examples to share; and offer a conduit for your leadership to engage other leaders and learn from them the lessons & challenges ahead.

Good luck
