Ever feel like there are just a few of you and your group is kind of barely surviving?

You are not alone. While there are certainly many thriving groups out there with lots of volunteers, the more typical group is like yours -- a few dedicated volunteers doing the best they can and getting tired and making mistakes.

The good news: You are likely still doing great work, and -- if you are not -- you certainly can.

We have this great new feature on small groups achieving big things. My simple advice to small groups is to tackle just one or two things and make them great. Whether it’s improving communication or making one signature event memorable -- start there. Tangible success is the best way to attract more volunteers, which will allow you to do even more. Those small groups that try to do too much and wind up with just so-so results (and completely overworked volunteers) have a really hard time attracting new blood.
