TAKING ACTION IN YOUR CLUB STEPS TO ATTRACT AND ENGAGE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS
Step 1: Self-Assessment Does your club create a welcoming atmosphere for young professionals? Are your club’s fees a barrier for young professionals to join? Do your service projects involve families? Do young professionals hold leadership positions in your club?
Step 2: Peer and Group Assessment Ask Rotaractors and other young professionals in your club to share their perspectives Are there any Rotary traditions in your club that were hard to get used to? Do you feel comfortable inviting friends and family members to Rotary activities?
Step 3: Making Changes to Your Club Make your clubs family friendly Allow members to bring their children to meetings Involve children in service projects Consider changing your meeting time or format Meet at a time that is convenient for members with families Try less expensive meal ideas like, meeting for coffee, bringing bagels, or even a potluck Speak to your district governor about creating a satellite club for younger members
Step 4: Orientation Establish a good orientation program Assign a mentor to new members Introduce each new member to current club members Inform new members about special meetings or Rotary social events held throughout the year
Step 5: Engaging Your New Members Ask them if they are interested in serving on a committee Make sure that your club’s service projects are active and interesting Obtain feedback from new members on club processes, service projects, and speakers
