Catching People who Care About Your Cause
We love seeing cool volunteer things in the wild and this sign made the list. Shout out to Bike Cochrane! Here are some reasons we think this sign is awesome:
You are meeting people where they are at. The humans who are using the pump track are the ones who care and are invested in its ongoing maintenance.
The commitment is short and flexible, especially during the summer when schedules are out of whack. People who don’t have a lot of time in other seasons might have time in the summer, and life in the summer can sometime vary week to week. This allows people to make a commitment that fits in their schedule.
The expectations are clear and reflect the urgent need of the organization. The organization gets to keep a list of the things that need done for everyone to enjoy the space and people get to contribute in a meaningful way.
The connection is instant. A person can immediately go to the site, check their schedule and sign up for a week that works.
Humans can do this as a family unit and that set up is encouraged! We get inquiries to our email from people looking to experience the benefits of volunteerism as a family so it is awesome to see an opportunity that fits that need!
