Nobody likes to cancel PTO events due to lack of volunteers. Volunteer sign-up deadlines are very effective for recruiting help for PTO events and they also make planning much less stressful.
Once you have a variety of manageable volunteer jobs and convenient signup options, you need to motivate parents to take action. To go from thinking about volunteering, to actually signing up for specific jobs.
In Lessons 4.1 and 4.2, we looked at how leadership and helper volunteer roles could be broken into smaller parts to make them manageable. This lesson will show you how to make it easy for parents to sign up for those opportunities.
This lesson is about answering the concerns many parents have about taking a leadership role so you can get more YESes. It will also cover handling NOs in a positive way.
