Ideas Generated at Lunch VOLUNTEERS: "GET `EMI" • Target populations that would appreciate your mission • Presentations /demos at local organizations /groups — go where they are • Athletic teams • "Volunteer Rally" - a volunteer organization fair where volunteer organizations set up a booth and recruit volunteers. This way you may get a variety of people with various talents. • "Church newsletter" - several retired people in the church who are willing to work and have the time and talent. • "Charity Run/Walk" - Sponsor a 5K walk for volunteerism to provide exposure for the organization. • Set up a training program for former clients to have volunteer opportunities within the agency. • Volunteer information day. Agencies showing up at a sort of small trade show. Each agency could have a booth with information about what they do. Possibly a high school or college campus rally. Give something away. • Open House (Fun Day) give them something for signing up. Invite the churches, schools etc. Pass out flyers. Advertise that K -Love gives free information on the radio. Have food available. • Go door to door at a retirement community with treats and information about volunteer opportunities. • Staff a table at a local festival to inform and recruit. • ,Just ask our clients to give back to the community. Include them in the decision- making committees for the organization. Involve former clients in recruiting efforts and organize client volunteer groups. • Newsletter! • Walk the streets of my neighborhood and ASK. • Go to the senior citizen center on "Dominoes Day ". • When advertising at outreach events have drawings for prizes —or- say 1st ten people to commit will get certain in -kind donations.
