Letter From a Former Member
A personal way to set the stage
The experiences of former members can help inspire and encourage the people who take their place. Some programs ask departing members to write letters to their replacements, which are read at orientation.
Click the play button to hear one example, composed by Morgan Von Haden, Volunteers of America, Dakotas (Sioux Falls, SD) and read by Jane Larsen, UCAN VISTA Coalition (Roseburg, OR).
Larsen has her exiting members write a summary of their service during the year to orient the new member and make the job seem less overwhelming. The report becomes part of a complete "exit binder."
Check out the contents of the binder here.
