LSS
Volunteer Coordinators Invent Game
Question: How do you
attract the attention of prospective volunteers who are attending a
volunteer fair?
Answer: Get them involved in a game.
Question: What if you don't have a game?
Answer: Invent one.
That's exactly what Paris
Dunning and Shelby Aslesen did as they prepared to participate in the
Volunteer Resource Center's 85th Anniversary Fair, held in Minneapolis in
early May. Those who attended the event were young people, future leaders
and change agents in the community. Approximately 150 people played the
game. Each player received a pen and a magnet, and they got to keep their
game card, a reminder of the web site address and what types of volunteer
opportunities are available at LSS.
The name of their game: Will
Fortune Smile on You?
The object of the game: Raise
awareness of the services LSS provides, ways members of the community can
get involved by volunteering, and how to find information on the LSS web
site.
