=== Three Types of 1:1 Meetings ===
There are three types of 1:1s that you will use or engage in in your organizing relationships.

==== Recruitment 1:1 ====
These meetings happen at the start of a relationship to connect you and a new volunteer, and establish a connection based on shared goals and values. The goals of the recruitment 1:1 are to make a personal connection, use your personal story to identify and gauge potential interests, discover shared experiences, connect on values, and lastly, pivot to engagement – that is, move the volunteer to action based on what you’ve discussed. Think about the volunteer’s aptitude, skills, and connections when considering how to best engage them. See the [https://harper.whc.ca:2083/cpsess2505230392/frontend/jupiter/filemanager/showfile.html?file=worksheet+-+Recruitment+11+Agenda.pdf&fileop=&dir=%2Fhome%2Flqpvahro%2Fpublic_html%2Fresources%2Fassets%2Fworksheets&dirop=&charset=&file_charset=&baseurl=&basedir= here for a sample recruitment 1:1 meeting agenda].

==== Maintenance 1:1 ====
These meetings should occur regularly between you and each of your team members (assuming that you are in a leadership role in your team or snowflake). This is an opportunity to catch up on a personal level, debrief recent actions taken by the organizer and their team, and offer coaching. Maintenance 1:1s should be scheduled regularly and proactively: do not wait for a problem to occur to schedule one. A good guideline is to schedule a maintenance 1:1 every two weeks, and at least once per month. 

See the sample maintenance 1:1 meeting agenda.

Maintenance 1:1s are the primary opportunity to coach an organizer. See the Coaching section for more information on how to approach coaching (pg. 43).<div style="background-color:#eee; padding:1em; border:1px solid #ccc;"> Because every organizer has a limited amount of time, and maintenance 1:1s need to happen regularly, each organizer has a limit to how many relationships they can maintain. See the Structuring Teams section (pg. 48) for information on “sustainable relationship ratios.” </div>

==== Leadership 1:1 ====
These meetings are for organizers who are ready to take the next step on the pyramid of engagement in assuming more responsibility and taking on ownership of goals. First, recognize the accomplishments the organizer has already made, with a particular focus on any leadership tests they have recently passed that make them appropriate for the new role. Explain the context for why there is an urgent need for someone new to move into this role, then propose the idea of taking on this new leadership role. If all goes as planned and the organizer accepts, take the time to clearly lay out the new responsibilities and expectations.
