Japan SeniorNet Presentation 【008】After the initial opening phase, most of the recruitment is ... After the initial opening phase, most of the recruitment is done by recruiting the brightest and most enthusiastic students in the classes. As I am sure you know, one of the best ways to reinforce learning, is to have a student teach someone else. In Boynton Beach, we started with about 30 volunteers, many recruited as I was, with an IBM letter to its retirees. Over time, the Boynton Center has grown to over 100 volunteers, primarily through recruitment of our top students. Another key to success is that the volunteers and the site management clearly decide the responsibilities of each group very early in the life of the center. This can range from the site giving total control of the program to the volunteers to a program where the volunteers are basically only involved in teaching and curriculum. However, our most successful programs occur when the site management, regardless of how the responsibilities are defined, become enthusiastic pro-active supporters of the program. Where we have seen programs struggle or fail, usually we find that site management has not "bought" into the program, and are hosting it as a result of some higher management edict. Or that the fees generated by the program disappear into the sites general fund, and the Center volunteers cannot get them for needed upgrades to equipment. |
