Volunteer Recruitment Plan

Project details

What we need
  • 3-5 one hour strategy sessions covering topics like potential volunteer market, timeline, strategies for outreach and recommendations for implementation (potential risks, possible management tools, etc.)
  • A written summary of goals, target audiences and channels to prioritize
  • A starter plan of recommendations & actionable next steps to begin executing your strategy.
Additional details

We would like help recruiting participants (not volunteers) for our youth gardening, permaculture, and art program: Mugworts School of Farmcraft and Discovery. Our goal is to create a base of organizations, schools, families, etc that can fill our programs regularly. We have already started recruiting and have had some success, but would like to regularly expect to fill the programs. www.bethechangereno.org/mugworts

What we have in place
  • We currently have a website www.bethechangereno.org/mugworts, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a fb flyer, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,866 , allowing us to offer a low cost permaculture and crafts program for young people in our low-income neighborhood.

We would like to recruit students from our immediate low-income neighborhood and nearby free/low-cost programs. We have been successful recruiting students with parents who are interested in permaculture already, but would like to expand to students who would not normally have access to this type of program.
