Volunteer Parent - 3rd Top Pick

Here we are at our 3rd Top PTO Expo Pick!!

I have to say I’m really excited about this one:)  I actually presented it to our Middle School Principal yesterday and he loved the idea.

First of all, I have to give my sweet husband credit for this one.  We found the booth and I thought it was really cute but almost dismissed it until he stopped me and told me his vision for this product:)

How To Get Volunteers

Finding volunteers is not always easy.  A lot of times people see volunteering as a ‘black hole’ from which they will never emerge.  And sure, that can happen… I’m not going to lie.  However, trying to find that balance so they don’t always feel like they ‘have’ to help is crucial. I’m going to go through the different ways that I find my volunteers. I hope this is helpful to you.

At the beginning of each school year, we have a table set up for the PTC.  I have a form made up for the different positions we are looking to fill. Everything from ‘chairpersons’ to ‘just call’ for each event/spot we have available. Some people will check everything and some will just check one small event as a helper.  (Be grateful for every bit of help you get.) I have been lucky with volunteers. Most of mine have been along for the ride with me since my oldest was young. One year, we gave really cute tote bags with our school name and mascot on it away to people who signed up.  This next school year, I believe I am going to set up a coffee and tea service to entice people to visit our table:) People love coffee and freebies:)
