You'll book a time via Calendly (auto time-zones).

House rules: cameras on (bandwidth permitting), Volunteer keeps time, no slides unless the brief asks, confidential by default.

Here is a typical call agenda for a 60min call: Warm intros (0–5) → Context (5–10) → Deep-dive & advice (10–45) → Action recap (45–55) → Close & feedback (55–60)

Use the Calendly link in your confirmation to reschedule. Please limit reschedules to two. No-show once? We'll try to rebook. Repeat no-shows may pause access during the pilot.

Provide concise, asynchronous advice per the brief. Upload a PDF or Google Doc link. Keep it plain, skimmable, and actionable (bullets, numbered steps, links to any frameworks/templates). Flag delays early; we'll reset expectations. All information stays confidential between the Volunteer, the NPO, and Plentii. Feedback survey after sign-off.

Most calls are 30 or 60 minutes. Written guidance is usually 2–4 focused hours for a concise mini-playbook or checklist, depending on the brief.
