we have done this for three years now and it is really nice. This year we have the theme "be a piece of the puzzle" the bulletin board has puzzle pieces all over it on a background that is all neoncolors. We then take pictures of people volunteering during the whole year and put them up, so we are constantly adding faces. I try to get fun pictures so people see volunteering is fun.
Along side of it we have our chart for volunteer hours as hours are logged the chart gets filled in until we reach our goal, but we keep going! Another thing we do is profiles on volunteers, just little tidbits on what they like about volunteering, favorit volunteer moment, etc.
We then have a new wall this year which is our PTO Today 2 Hour wall which has stars with names on all of the people who have given their two hours this year. Doing something like this truly makes a difference and the kids love looking at the pictures!
You could title it - Volunteers are stars in our eyes and put each name on a heart. You could also say - Our volunteers have the magic touch and put each name on a magic hat or magic wand. You could also say - Volunteers are a treasure and put each name on a treasure chest. I found all of these ideas on a website at www.thankscompany.com
. They have lots of volunteer celebration ideas and products. I plan on shopping with them this year. Good luck to you.
I would like to recognize our volunteers by name on a board/bullentin in the lobby. Does anyone have any goods ideas about layout, how to manage the list, type of materials to use? Pictures of what you have done.
