Riassunto

Every community has far more willing people than it realizes.
They have looked for a place to serve and given up, because they could not find where they were needed. Meanwhile, the non-profits in the same town are stretched thin, relying on word of mouth, with needs going unmet. The two groups need each other, and have no easy way to find each other.
The Community Service and Support Network closes that gap. The free website works like a volunteer Human Resource Department for a whole community: people choose the people they care about, the situation that moves them and the ability they have to offer, and the site narrows thousands of opportunities down to the few that fit. Then local volunteer Connectors, chosen from the people each Executive Director already trusts, turn those matches into relationships.
Be a Part of the Solution is a step-by-step field guide for the handful of people who will start one in their own town or city: business and community leaders, pastors, non-profit directors, and retirees with a lifetime of experience to give.

Inside, you will discover:

• Why people give up looking for a place to serve, and why passion-aligned volunteers stay
• How the free website works, walked through screen by screen
• Connectors, the key ingredient: two to three hours a week, from the Executive Director's trusted circle
• How to write Service Opportunity Descriptions, beginning with one question: "If you had a million dollars for paid staff, what would the titles of those positions be?"
• The 4 Groups and 12 Teams, and how Co-Leaders lead together in unity rather than by authority
• Five steps: gathering supporters and a startup team, meeting with the mayor, launching with your first ten non-profits, growing to twelve Co-Leaders, and reaching critical mass before going live
• Spreading the word, and inviting the churches of your community to become sending churches

If one person in ten gave two hours a week, it would equal the hours of an entire city payroll.
Built to be worked through together, each chapter ends with Questions for Your Startup Team. The appendices include a team roster, Co-Leader descriptions for all 12 Teams, sample Service Opportunity Descriptions, the site's search lists, a startup checklist and meeting outlines for the mayor, Executive Directors and your first twelve Co-Leaders.
A companion to Leading: Uniting God's People to More Productive Service. Born of Christian conviction, the network serves every non-profit and every willing person in a community, whatever their beliefs.
