Isabel,
Our adult volunteers wear blue shirts with our logo on the pocket and
VOLUNTEER printed on the back. They pair the shirt with khaki bottoms
and sneakers. Our youth volunteers wear the same style shirts but in a
different color so that it is easy to identify them at a glance. The
team consists of volunteers of all ages and I have yet to receive any
negative feedback from anyone regarding the uniforms.

Hello Listserv Experts,
I'm in the process of accessing and potentially revamping our volunteer
wardrobe, if you will, and I'd love to hear about what other places do
to make their volunteers easily identifiable by visitors. Currently, our
volunteers wear either a vest or a smock in a sort of dull teal with our
logo as a sewn-on badge. (They also have name tags.) Many volunteers do
not like these garments at all...and neither do I, truth be told.
I'm going to survey the volunteers to hopefully figure out their
feelings on the matter (what's really wrong with the vests?), but in the
mean time, I turn to you. Personally, I like the look of lab coats, but
I recognize their
downsides: hot in the summer, fairly expensive to get in bright cheery
colors... What has worked well (or poorly) for you? Is there a way for
volunteers to be easily spotted but also feel comfortable? (And yes, I
know that you can't please all the people all the time, certainly not on
a
budget.)
Thanks!
Isabel
