ADULT VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
I.. Introduction
A key to success of the entire youth opportunity program will be the number
of volunteers recruited. The manpower needed to carry out the many activi-
“ties in this program is too numerous to be obtained from the limited funds
available. Effort will be made to recruit, train and place a total of 500
full: and part time volunteers. ; '
These volunteers will serve in a variety of ways: Camp counselors, employ-.
ment interviewers, game room supervisors, gym instructors, coaches, tutors,
bus supervisors, homemake teachers, arts and crafts instructors, and hundreds
of other types of leaders.
IT. Recruitment
Recruitment of volunteers will be primarily through public media, speaking
engagements, brochures, and flyers. A full page ad will be placed in the
three major newspapers. The Federal Government, Labor Unions, several trade
associatiops, professional organizations, churches, and religious groups
will be solicited for volunteer services. The Federal agencies are asking
all of its 27,000 volunteers to work in this program.
TEE. Training
Training of the volunteers will be done by VISTA, the American Red Cross,
and the user agencies.
IV. Placements
A special volunteer placement committee is presently at work and will place
the volunteers.
Special Events
An important part of the Youth Opportunity Program will be special events.
Several special events will be planned and implemented by the individual agencies
and organizations. The School and Recreation Department are now planning special
events such as Jr. Olympics, Field Days, Chattanooga-Atlanta Games and other
similar events.

movies, theaters, athletic events, and cultural activities. Bus,cplane, train
“Qa
and boat trips are being arranged. Picnics, outings, and special sight-seeing
tours are being arranged. The Special Events Sub-Committee is being chaired by
Mr. Steve Fox. ‘

program is transportation. Ninety-five percent of all the proposals submitted requires
transportation. The present plan is to centralize all transportation and dispatch by
request and regular routing. The buses will be obtained from the following sources:
