As a volunteer's tenure comes to a close, both the organization and the
volunteer typically begin to wonder how they can ensure that the work
that has been done will be sustainable i.e. have a lasting impact and/or
be carried on by others. For example, if you have unique skills that
others in the organization do not have, then you certainly want to think
about how you can transfer these skills to others. In this way you can
make a much longer lasting contribution to the organization and ensure
that the work you have done will be continued. You may want to think
about conducting training for others. Over the course of your stay you
can develop an outline of a training module as you learn more about what
the organization needs, about the culture, appropriate teaching/training
methods etc.
