I think the greatest way to encourage the members is to show them the impact volunteering has on others. Many volunteers fail to realize the difference they make in people. One way we will encourage our members to volunteer is to list to them the benefits they would obtain from it. Not only would they feel a sense of accomplishment to be able to have an impact on the society as a whole but they would develop life skills needed later in life. We will show how volunteering is a great way to grow out of your comfort zone and to become more comfortable around large groups for those who may be timid and shy. We will also inform them how helping others also helps open their eyes to the reality of the world. Not only would do they become socially aware of what occurs in the world but they also become aware of the power they have in their actions and their words. We will also try to emphasize with them more and tell them that we are aware that during the school year and may be hard to volunteer. We will emphasize how volunteering during the summer help give them a head start before school. Many members are involved in school so having a head start will help them keep up with the hour requirements. It is always better to finish early then to finish late. One thing as a club we try to do is allow my them a choice to pick the volunteer work they would like. I feel like it gives them a free choice to choose what they desire to do. I also believe that it is important to volunteer by example. As a leader we are also responsible to attend the summer events ourselves so that the members are motivated to come out to volunteer. If they see the passion we put forth into helping it will encourage them to do the same. What we are trying to do as a club is to have events that provide both the opportunity to have fun while making an impact on the community. Some events we try to incorporate into our summer events are things that people love to do like the Blacklight Run and a puppy marathon that will serve as an incentive for people to come and help. Key Club should strive forward to persuade members to volunteer during the summer to be able to help out others. Comments are closed.
