The second thing is adopting what I call a people approach rather than a job approach. I try to make volunteering as free and easy as possible. You don't have to be martyred to be a volunteer. They're volunteering for fun, for meaning and choice. If you work for us, we're going to take all these choices away from you, and you'll be structured and controlled.
Control is really what it's about.
This may work for some people, but there are lots of other structures that are more empowering. It's also good to remember that people have the right to be left alone, not to participate. If they want to sit on their duffs in front of the TV, it's a free country. Saints are very rare. In South Dakota there are singles clubs that do volunteer projects together and help members to make connections.
