At the same time, each volunteer is also on their own personal growth journey. NET volunteers are largely responsible for their '''individual development''', which is where the Volunteer Support Function (VSF) system comes in. VSFs provide pathways for volunteers to specialize in skills that interest them and strengthen the team.

VSFs provide pathways for volunteers to specialize in skills that interest them and strengthen the team.


Your role as Team Leader is to see both sides: to think about your team as a whole unit, and also to recognize the unique skills and strengths each volunteer brings. You don’t need to control an individual’s development, but you can guide them—helping them choose VSFs that align with team needs, and working with PBEM to make sure those paths stay open. In short: '''you shape the team, while supporting each volunteer in shaping themselves as volunteer responders'''.
