For the past fifteen years, I've managed volunteers in relation to citizen-science opportunities, and I've done so successfully. My volunteers have been engaged in several citizen-science initiatives - water quality monitoring and stream assessment, frog and toad monitoring, bird monitoring, as well as general wildlife and weather monitoring. My poster presentation will walk participants through the steps of recruiting volunteers, engaging them in citizen-science initiatives, as well as keeping them engaged so that your project has consistent results over long periods of time.
