Hosting is important work, with the Host acting as the main connector between the Visitor/group and the community. For individual Visitors, hosting is not only about facilitating a good visit, but also gradually onboarding them until they become a Volunteer - no one knows for sure how long they will stay! This page collects recommendations about what should be covered by when for a good experience for all. It is written for hosts, but we welcome any curious visitors that may be reading! 😊
