How can a volunteer truly H.E.L.P. their leader?

In the 5th episode of Kidmin Talk, Karl Bastian answered a listener's question, "How can a volunteer support and help their leader?" This is a summary of his answer, in an easy to remember outline!


Volunteers want to H.E.L.P. - well, here are FOUR WAYS you can truly be a H.E.L.P. and blessing to your leader:

H = HELP

Look for things that your leader is doing that you can do, and say, "Let me do that for you." Actively take things away from you leader that you can do. Don't worry if they can do it better than you. That doesn't matter. (And that is an assumption that often isn't true anyway.) Your leader needs volunteers who will take the initiative to do things because believe it or not, they hate asking people, because they feel like they are always asking and they secretly believe everyone is dreading being asked. So just help without being asked, and you will bless their socks right off!
