Our simple pledge program tackles your biggest involvement challenges
If your group is like
many, you've got a handful of people (like you) doing tons of work. And you've
got lots, lots more never quite finding the time to pitch in. Sound familiar?
The fact is that parents typically stay away from volunteering for two reasons:
Some parents stay away from your group because, they're "not PTO types."
These folks are not attracted to monthly meetings and committees, have challenging work schedules and - for whatever reason - don't see themselves in your group. The key to overcoming this challenge is to make sure parents know that there are dozens and dozens of unique ways to help out at school. You’ll take any help, any time, any way.
And some parents fear the "black hole" of volunteering.
They are afraid that once they say 'yes' to volunteering, they'll never be able to get out. That one 'yes' is like agreeing to give up weeks and weeks and attend meeting after meeting after meeting. Your parent group needs to proactively address this fear by welcoming (and even celebrating!) small contributions, and not continually asking the same people for more and more help.
The Perfect Solution - Just 2 Hours!
The 2 Hour Power volunteer pledge
program is a perfect antidote to both of these fundamental involvement obstacles.
The program is designed to encourage parents to pledge just two hours anytime
during the school year. Further - using the free tools provided with the program
- you can also reach out and find out exactly what skills and interests exist
among your parents and match up the right parents with the right activities.
By working just two hours each, hundreds of parents can work together to make
a significant contribution...and (shhhh - here's the secret) lots of them will
find out that getting involved isn't so bad after all and keep at it. Nice.
It's Easy!
