- Send publicity to all potential members, but don’t stalk them (if you’re too enthusiastic you will scare people away)
- Personal recruitment
- Flyers and phone calls – Be sure to include/remember
- Times
- Dates
- Location
- Cost
- To whom to respond and the deadline (usually a week or two before the event)
- ADVANCED NOTICE! Sending info out 4 days before an event does absolutely nothing. It turns potentially good events into debacles.
- Edit flyers and know what you plan to say before you call
- Incentives (I mean positive incentives, not threats. Like people save money if they bring a friend, for example)
- Good programs
- Encourage old members to bring friends
- Advertise
- Make programs sound exciting
- Talk to groups: religious school, regular school
- Talk to 8th graders and do a program for them (advertise to the JYG)
- Offer rides – Pick people up
- Have a place where people can pick up membership forms
- Youth group brochures
- Frequent events
- Plan an event everyone else will like (not just you and your board!)
- Educate parents in the community about your TYG
- Attend or chaperone JYG events
