Recruiting and Retaining Volunteers Adapted from Dave Kelly America’s Student Leadership Trainer
A Successful table for gaining members • Have multiple sign-up sheets!!! • Lots of pens (make it easy) • Have a brochure or flyer with Club Information • Chapters, Adviser/Representative Contact Information, activities or goals • Show off your club! • Scrapbooks, trinkets, related items, flags
Getting people • TALK TO PASSERBYS!!!! • Don’t sit in chairs • Don’t engage in side conversations • Don’t read, listen to music, etc. • Have people in FRONT of the table • Have a catchy saying to interest people • “Are you interested in community service?” vs “Would you like to join our club?”
Follow up • Email or call the person same night or next day • Thank them for their interest • Invite them to the next meeting (once you start having them)
And most important! • Have fun! • This isn’t like having a tooth pulled! • Think outside the box- there are numerous ways to get people interested in your club
