Re: This Is Appalling Behavior At A FIRST Event
I have seen some companies provide money to the team up to a certain amount, depending how many hours the mentor volunteer. Example would be up to $500 for every 25 hours of volunteer ($250 each).
Professionals organizations that has formed an outreach arm, give an amount such as $100 to $500 for each member mentor.
The key is that it is a "matching" and not a incentive/penalty that has a limit and the behavior will settle normally.
We should not be providing an incentive for something that should be a volunteering activity, rather it is a "matching benefit" for a behavior that would have happened anyway.
Also it needs to be an amount that an organization, can give to many teams that are eligible applies for. If there is a professional organization with 100 members, and 10 members apply to get the grant, all 10 should get the grant. If the budget is $1000, everybody gets $100.
It is more an act of saying "thank you", and the behavior will continue. In the case of the "glass giving volunteer", that's a very thankless job, and if someone is doing year after year, they are probably going to get burn out and "appalling behavior" will happen. Either require EVERY volunteer that first start with the organization to do one slot, and one slot only, or make it a paid position.
Cheers,
Marcos.
