# Volunteer event feedback survey

Improve preparation and coordination for volunteers.

If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.

## 2. Did you have the resources needed for the task?

Answer: ____________________

## 3. What would make volunteering easier next time?

Answer: ____________________

## 4. Did you know whom to ask when a task changed?

Answer: ____________________

## 5. What preparation would help before the next volunteer session?

Answer: ____________________

## Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable

1. Check whether instructions arrived early enough to prepare; clear instructions at the venue may still arrive too late.
2. Identify a missing resource in relation to a task rather than assuming every task needs more equipment.
3. Ask for a usable improvement without treating willingness to volunteer again as the only measure of success.
4. Check whether changed tasks had a clear support contact so volunteers could act safely within their role.
5. Separate preparation needed before arrival from guidance that is better supplied during the task.

Interpretation caution: Do not confuse commitment to the cause with satisfaction with coordination.


## Illustrative finding and follow-up

Observation: Illustrative volunteers receive a task but lack a clear escalation contact when plans change.

Action to test: Add a named coordinator and a short task briefing before the next session.

Follow-up: After testing the action, revisit this original observation: Illustrative volunteers receive a task but lack a clear escalation contact when plans change. Repeat the relevant experience prompts with people who encountered the change. Compare specific explanations and sample differences; do not claim causation from the before-and-after responses.
