Your Region can’t survive without volunteers

Ask Everyone

• Ask as parents come in the door at Registration

• Say: “We need every parent to volunteer in some way. Please help us”

• Don’t assume that parents will know that you need volunteers. They need to be asked.

Attitude is everything when recruiting

volunteers.

Get parents to sign something before they

leave Registration
