The Things Volunteers Do!
A Thousand Names of Caring

Some people collect volunteers; for the past five years, I’ve been collecting volunteer job titles. From "alter Guild" to "Zoo tour guide," from "Barefoot Doctor" to "Big Sister," these are some of the things volunteers do in North America and around the world. Here are a thousand names of caring, still just a sample drawn from – how many? – on a complete honor roll. The average guess is fifty thousand. Some say more.

But even this "short list" eloquently affirms the rich variety of helpful things people do voluntarily and without pay. Some of these people do not happen to use the word "volunteer" to refer to what they do. So be it; as long as they continue doing more than they have to, because they want to, in good causes, they are welcome to whatever name they prefer)though they’ll always be "secret volunteers" to me).

Several hundred people contributed the job titles. So thank you Idaho, Kentucky, Ontario, and just about everywhere else in North America.

I listed names just as they were given to me, eliminating only exact duplicates. There remains overlap between some job names and there are certainly some informal, "Unofficial" titles not in anyone’s organized program.

But all of these are things volunteers are actually doing, by whatever name the work is called.

Some of the titles identify organizations within which there may be many different volunteer jobs; for example, "Red Cross." Other names such as "advisor" or "Court volunteer" deserve several types of volunteer work, within which a number of distinct variations can occur.

The honor roll is a celebration of volunteering and will so be understood in any recognition event or publication. Another use of the listings is to confront the seriously restrictive stereotypes about Volunteers which still affect many agency staff, politicians, philanthropists, media people, etc. Volunteer coordinators themselves sometimes suffer from tunnel vision. But wherever it occurs, we must give the lie to the assumption that volunteering represents only a limited range of people performing a limited range of tasks. The lady in a flowered hat comes all too easily to mind as an example. But could this image survive a blizzard of volunteer job titles such as "mountain search and rescue" or "green guerrilla?" If volunteers are supposed to be such tame band-aid types, how do we account for Gray Panthers or advocates of any ilk? Whoever thought volunteering was simply a way to occupy idle time, never heard of Hospice. And on and on.

Stereotypes of this kind often underlie the three main enemies of organized volunteerism: staff apathy, rigidity, or hostility. By contract, our long list punctures restrictive concepts with the message that volunteers can be just about anyone doing just about anything. So it’s up to us to decide just what they will do and how they will do it. We won’t feel crowded by volunteers, if we’re creative.

People are usually quite fascinated by the list and the challenge of adding names to it. Guessing games increase the interest; what’s a "HOGOSHI" anyhow and whatever is a "Beeping Easter Egg Hunt volunteer?"

Reviewing the list as is can suggest great new ideas for volunteer involvement, and also more attractive names of work volunteers now perform. Trying to add new names to the list is a good learning experience, too. Think first of things volunteers now do in your organization, neighborhood, community, or county. Then try to expand to what volunteers might usefully do in your agency, neighborhood, etc.

Yellowfire would like to see a far longer scroll of work-names unfold in honor of volunteers. Will you help? Just send in 100 or more new names under which volunteers do business, and we’ll recognize you nationally as a member of the exclusive "Club 100." Or should we say "inclusive?" To qualify, titles must not duplicate names in the current list or even closely resemble them. This must be work volunteers are actually doing now, or have done in the recent past. A brief explanation and address for further information should accompany more exotic titles such as "elm watcher" and "yoga warmer-upper." Now on to "alter guild," "matzoth maker," etc.
