1 Understand Diversity

Understanding diversity goes beyond recognizing differences in race, gender, or age. It's about appreciating the unique perspectives and experiences that each volunteer brings to the table. In an interview, discuss how you actively listen to and integrate diverse viewpoints into your volunteer projects. Explain your strategies for ensuring that all voices are heard and valued, which might include regular feedback sessions or inclusive decision-making processes. Demonstrating your commitment to diversity can show that you're not just managing volunteers, but you're also building a community.

Understanding diversity is to understand that every single person you meet has a unique worldview. I describe it as standing as a group in a circle looking at a rock on the ground. Every single person is looking at the same thing--the rock--but each individual is wearing different glasses that changes their views. Some glasses are rosy or pristine, some gritty, some broken. Some don't have glasses at all. Culture is more than music or language, it is your unique perspective on the world based on your lived experiences with your identities. Your glasses are your world. Remember that others see things differently than you do. They have different glasses on, and their glasses are not wrong, they are simply different than yours.

2 Tailor Communication

Effective communication is key when managing volunteers from various backgrounds. During an interview, illustrate how you tailor your communication style to meet the needs of different individuals. Share anecdotes of times when you adjusted your approach to ensure clarity and understanding for everyone involved. Whether it's through utilizing multilingual resources or employing visual aids for those with different learning styles, showing that you can communicate effectively with a diverse group underscores your leadership capabilities.

3 Conflict Resolution

Conflict is inevitable when working with a diverse group of individuals. Your ability to navigate and resolve disputes is a critical skill to highlight in an interview. Discuss your approach to conflict resolution, emphasizing empathy and the importance of finding common ground. Share specific examples of how you've mediated issues between volunteers while maintaining respect for each person's viewpoint. This not only showcases your problem-solving skills but also your dedication to creating a harmonious volunteer environment.

Tuckman's "stages of group development" discusses a stage called "Storming", when your team will begin to experience growing pains, friction, and communication breakdowns. During this stage, It's important to set ground rules in the beginning to ensure all group individuals are being respectful. But as a mediator, you set the tone and control the heat. Treat the mediation as a calm conversation where your objective is to see the big picture of what the overall goal is. It's not Person A vs Person B, it's "what is the AB solution together?" Allow each person to talk without interruption, utilize active listening to understand their perspective, and then present how their ideas can combine OR remind them both of the big picture goal here.

4 Showcase Flexibility

Flexibility is a trait that's highly valued in volunteer management. In an interview, it's important to demonstrate your ability to adapt to changing circumstances and diverse volunteer needs. Provide examples of how you've adjusted projects or roles to accommodate the skills and limitations of volunteers.
