Volunteer Support Cricket Tasmania recognises that volunteers are the life-blood of cricket clubs and associations and are essential in ensuring cricket is fun, social and safe. The resources below will hopefully allow clubs develop and improve the recruitment and coordination of volunteers and help make volunteering as easy, appealing and rewarding as possible. Why do people volunteer? Think about the reasons you volunteer - what motivates you to give your free time to the club? Research shows that the main reasons people volunteer include; Meet new people Utilise their skills in a meaningful way Gain work experience Fun and enjoyment To make a difference in their community What stops people from volunteering? Understanding what holds people back from getting or staying involved will also help you recruit volunteers. Some common reasons for not volunteering include; Time constraints Not knowing what volunteering opportunities exist The possibility of out-of-pocket expenses The belief they’re not skilled enough to help Feeling shy / lack of confidence Volunteer Resources:
