On-going volunteers want to be part of a viable continuing program, trained and ready to be used. They do expect the agency actually to use them. They can be as dedicated as any paid staff within the line of their specialization. It has nothing to do with their being wealthy, but with a view of what they can and want to do. Some of these volunteers may have incomes far less than staff, and others may have incomes several times that of the highest paid staff.
Series continues next bulletin.
