Working with Volunteer-Run Facilities

Service Description

In many small municipalities, community facilities rely heavily on volunteers. Rinks, halls, museums, libraries, and recreation spaces often exist because of dedicated individuals who care deeply about their community. While this support is invaluable, it also creates a unique challenge: how do you support volunteers while still maintaining standards, clarifying roles, and protecting municipal assets? This session explores: * the realities of volunteer-run operations in small communities * common points of tension between municipalities and volunteer groups * governance, risk, and liability considerations * how to clearly define roles and responsibilities You’ll also gain practical tools and templates to help manage these relationships with confidence—ensuring community assets are supported, not put at risk. This webinar is part of the Municipal Administrators Essentials Series. Contact Anna at Anna@smallplacesrock.com to register for the Municipal Administrators Essentials Series, an 8-webinar series.
