Biggest sociological learning from the study was to make the first ask something very small while connecting the volunteer to community. Then recognize with gratitude the contribution b4 a bigger ask. Keep growing the commitment in small increments and you're creating real engagement.

LOVE the point about giving us something to do! Thank you for that framing. Also, thank you for the triple history lesson (German '48ers, Freedom Riders' long-term activism, and that incredible signs study)! I can see a lot of applications for the study's steady, baby "steps" insights in my work and that of colleagues working in conservation.
