Now we know the ways in which parents can support our clubs, how can we go about asking for and organising extra parent help?
There are a couple of key things to do if you’d like to increase the amount of parent support at your club:
1. List the areas that you need parent help
The first step is to create a list or spreadsheet to note south korea rcs data all the areas where you would benefit from additional parent support. You can then prioritise this list in order of what support is most required, so that you know who you’d like to contact first.
2. Identify the skills and expertise available within your parent base
Unless you have a small club and know all parents well, it can be difficult to understand what support is available. One thing you can do here is canvassing; asking parents about their current or previous work, or what skills they have that you could benefit from. Once you’re aware of this, you then know who to approach for support. This type of information can be captured on your registration forms and if you have a club management system like LoveAdmin in place, you can easily screen your database for volunteers – even down to the detail of the skills they can bring to the club.
