Volunteers are essential to the search process.
They can and will play a variety of roles in the effort to find your child. The role of the volunteer coordinator is not to handle volunteer activities directly, but rather to delegate to others management of specific activities, such as bringing food to the family, providing water for the searchers, and coordinating distribution of posters and fliers. If you need something, the best thing you can do for yourself is to ask for help. You will be amazed by the amount of support you receive from others. When someone offers to help, write down the person's name, telephone number, and type of service preferred so you can contact that individual later when you are prepared to accept the offer.
