| The
Day of Caring is a "ready-made" marketing opportunity
for your agency! Don't miss this opportunity to show off your
agency to the media, potential donors, volunteers and clients.
Be creative and get the message out about what your agency does. |
| |
- Welcome
your volunteers with a banner and make them feel at home
at your agency.
|
| |
- Feature
your volunteer team in your agency member/donor newsletter
to report your success to the community. Other communication
tools might include your web site, and Letters to the Editor
(to thank your volunteers). Please share any published items
with the United Way for our Day of Caring scrapbook.
|
| |
- Generate
ideas to recognize your volunteer team while they are
at your agency. It is one of the best ways to ensure they
will return one day to help again.
|
| |
- Prepare
an information packet about your agency for your Day
of Caring volunteers.
|
| |
- Give
the volunteers a brief tour of your agency and a short
orientation to your programs. Remember they will be anxious
to get started on their project!
|
| |
- Invite
the volunteers back later in the year (to see the blooming
daffodils that they planted, or to participate in an activity
at the recreation center they painted).
