Huh, I had not considered that failing their own expectations of what they can volunteer might be a factor in leaving. I'm going to have to think on that for a bit.

We definitely caution against taking on too much at first, or we give them clear deescalation paths should they struggle.

Hey, hey don't call me out like that. I'm the problem, its me. I absolutely have a tendency to do most of the work but want to run/control things tightly. Always pushing back on myself to try and chill out.

What do you think the main reasons volunteers quit are?
