At the core of what makes The Freecycle Network function smoothly are the many thousands of volunteers helping to moderate local groups. We understand that volunteers are not making this commitment for their entire lives and sometimes one's time constraints prohibit further volunteering. Below are some tips to help recruit new local volunteers to assume stewardship of the local group moving forward.
 
−
 
 
−
If you are pressed for time or need to step down more quickly there is a central volunteer team which helps moderate local groups until new local volunteers can be recruited. They are the Interim Moderator Team (IMods). If you are unable to recruit new local mods and need to step down, this team is there for you.
 
−
 
 
−
You may contact the Imod Team Leader to request their help here: [mailto:InterimMod@freecycle.org InterimMod@freecycle.org]. Thank you for caring enough to assure that the local group may continue to grow and to thrive.
