Research insights show us the complicated tangle of reasons why more members do not become volunteer leaders. Still, the energy many active leaders produce is the secret sauce for a vibrant community.

• Why people who want to volunteer do not engage;
• How to prepare every teammate for volunteerism; and
• The volunteer journey end-to-end.
