Time Management

Here are suggestions on how to plan activities around the school's and alumni group's schedules:

• Provide a range of activities with different levels of commitment.



• Generate a list of one-time activities to recruit volunteers without a lot of time availability (more activity ideas)
  
  
  • Speak at a Career Day
  
  
  
  • Judge history and science fairs
  
  
  
  • Fundraise for partner school in conjunction with alumni happy hour
  
  
  
  • Hold a Beautification Day (painting, landscaping, etc.)
  
  
  
  • Attend a school concert or play
  
  
  
• Utilize multiple time slots, such as early weekday mornings and Saturday mornings.
  
  
  • Recognize that high school students often have difficulty attending Saturday events and elementary school students often have difficulty staying late at school (if they take a bus).
  
  
  
  • Communicate with the school about time availability in order to schedule events on evenings and weekends. Possibly alternate times of events to accommodate more alumni.
