Volunteer coordination assistance requires giving support to the chairperson of this growing organization.

A Certificate is issued after volunteers' fulfill the required mapping duties. Volunteers contribute to the team's efforts and learn useful skills.

The volunteer coordination volunteers liaise with the chairperson to ensure that volunteer needs of the Crowd2Map project are met.

They talk with the volunteers via Slack to monitor their progress and the stability of the volunteer program.

They provide assistance in supporting a cohesive volunteer team by formulating ideas for morale building and capacity, with the approval of the chairperson.
